Easy Strawberry Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding Recipe | paleo, vegan, healthy

Healthy Strawberry Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding

I’ve teased you on Instagram LONG ENOUGH!  The time for me to share the beginnings of my chia seed pudding obsession has begun.  Let us commence with this Healthy Strawberry Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding — with generous layers of vibrant and sweet strawberry puree and warming vanilla-infused chia seed pudding, we’ve got a really tasty treat on our hands!

Prior to my first chia pudding ever, a Raspberry Blood Orange Chia Seed Pudding, I had a serious aversion to chia seeds.  They smelled weird to me, they reminded me of little bugs, and I absolutely hated their crunch whenever I tried them in a smoothie.  Oh, and they got stuck in my teeth all. the. time.

BUT, there’s some sort of magic that happens when you soak ’em overnight.  They gel up like cray cray and all of a sudden, with a few extra ingredients, they taste GOOD, they’re no longer crunchy, and they’re actually quite purdy to look at.

When I see a chia pudding, I no longer think about those widdle baby chia seeds as “bugs.”  The texture isn’t bad at all, in fact, I really like it.  It’s in between a raspberry or blackberry smoothie and tapioca or rice pudding.

I lurv it.  I think you will too!

  1. YUMMMM! Can’t wait for more of these recipes! <3

  2. What size jars are these? And how long will the pudding last in the fridge?

  3. I find chia pudding has a lot better mouth feel and taste if you grind the chia seed
    to a powder first then add then it more like a smooth instant milk pudding.

  4. What a delicious snack/dessert! I don’t have chia pudding because I’m generally not successful with it, but I’d LOVE to try this!

  9. Colorful, pretty & an easy intro to chia puddings!
    Have you tried Monkfruit extract (Lo Han) in this? We tried the stevia/truvia and it was just a touch ‘artificial’ tasting somehow? Monkfruit is now in those ‘squeezy drops’ bottles like stevia is, but unlike with truvia the Lo Han stuff is usually “all fruit or peel extract” instead of the Erythritol mix.

  15. What chia seeds did you use? The ones I have are 60 calories per tbs. Adding 5 tbs wold make that 300 calories just in the chia seeds alone.

  19. My chia pudding did not set up. It was still liquid the next day? What did I do wrong?

  20. Hi,just wandering how did u layered the pudding as the chia was left in the fridge overnight to set… how do we get strawberries underneath the chia on the next day or you just rearranged in other dish after ? 🤔🤣

  21. how many cups does this recipe make and how many is one serving?

  22. How many grams/ounces are those packets of sweetener? I only use honey and need to figure out how much to use.2 stars

  23. This looks delicious 😋 What does 4 packets of Truvia equal please?
    I don’t use sweetener in packets.
