Haven't eaten all the seasonal strawberries yet? Then this is your sign to whip up an amazing superfood breakfast - or dessert! If you’ve never made a chia pudding before, consider this your gentle nudge to finally try it 🤗 It’s as simple as it gets, yet it’s packed with incredible flavor, texture, and health benefits 🔥 In today's version, I’m using a yogurt base, while fresh strawberries bring all the brightness and flavor.

Ingredient Notes:

Chia seeds. A trendy superfood for over a decade now, packed with fiber, protein, and antioxidants. From a culinary standpoint, they act as both a thickener and a texturing agent in this dessert. There is no substitute for chia seeds. You can easily find them in the health food aisle of most supermarkets or online.
Yogurt and milk. This is the liquid base that the chia seeds will thicken. The ratio in this recipe yields a perfectly balanced, medium-thick consistency. For the best results, use plain Greek yogurt (it has a lovely thick texture). The fat content of the milk doesn’t matter. Alternatively, you can replace the milk-and-yogurt mixture with plain drinkable yogurt.
Powdered sugar. I always prefer using powdered (confectioners’) sugar in cold desserts because it dissolves instantly and completely, leaving no unpleasant gritty crystals. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar up or down to your liking.
Strawberries. For the strawberry coulis (sauce), you can use either fresh or thawed frozen berries. If you’re making this out of season, feel free to replace the fresh chopped strawberries used for topping with fruits like bananas or kiwi.
- Variations. This pudding works beautifully with raspberries, blueberries, peaches, apricots, or nectarines. If you choose to make a raspberry purée, I highly recommend straining it through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of the annoying seeds.

Let’s start cooking!

Combine the yogurt, milk, and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth. Then, add the chia seeds and stir again. Make sure the seeds are evenly distributed and don’t clump together.

Set the mixture aside for 15 minutes, then stir again and refrigerate it overnight.

The next day, prepare the strawberry coulis.

Combine the strawberries with powdered sugar and purée them with a blender.

Cut the remaining strawberries into pieces.

Spoon the pudding into glasses and top with the coulis and sliced strawberries.

Serve.

Enjoy!
