Ingredients
  

1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

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

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

A pinch of sea salt

Optional Toppings: Sliced almonds, shredded coconut, additional fresh strawberries, or crunchy granola

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a whisk to mix thoroughly, ensuring the chia seeds are well distributed throughout the liquid.

    After stirring, allow the mixture to sit for approximately 5 minutes. Then, whisk it again to prevent the chia seeds from sticking together and clumping.

      Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or divide the mixture into individual jars with lids. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight, allowing the pudding to thicken to a smooth, creamy consistency.

        Once the pudding has set, give it a gentle stir to incorporate any settled chia seeds. To serve, layer the pudding into clear serving glasses, alternating with layers of fresh chopped strawberries for a beautiful presentation.

          Finish each glass with your choice of toppings such as a sprinkle of sliced almonds, a handful of shredded coconut, more chopped strawberries, or a generous scoop of granola to add texture and flavor.

            Serve chilled and savor your deliciously refreshing and nutritious treat!
