Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for a non-vegan option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Extra strawberries for topping

Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Stir gently to coat the strawberries. Let them rest for about 10 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their natural juices, which will enhance their sweetness.

    Mix the Chia Pudding Base: In a separate bowl or jar, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, the remaining tablespoon of maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk thoroughly until the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.

      Combine the Ingredients: Carefully fold the macerated strawberries, along with any juices released, into the chia pudding mixture. Mix gently to combine, ensuring the strawberries are well incorporated without breaking them down too much.

        Set the Pudding: Spoon the chia pudding mixture into individual serving dishes or jars. Cover each container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, allowing the chia seeds to swell and thicken the pudding to a creamy texture.

          Serving the Chia Pudding: After the pudding has set, give it a good stir to mix everything again. Top each serving with fresh strawberry slices and garnish with mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful treat!
