Hey guys, this time around I am sharing with you another chia seed pudding recipe, another trademark of Summer, a very pretty and delicious layers of Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding. Fresh ripe and sweet Strawberry alternately layered with overnight soaked chia seed. Keeping the Summer alive!

Last month, I shared with you my first chia seed post, my all time favorite Mango and Coconut Chia Seed Pudding. That one was really delicious, I had been eating it for dessert and breakfast. Now it’s time to give Strawberry the center stage because what is Summer without the berries in our menu. That’s a hint that you can expect more berries menu in her coming post. So this Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding could definitely pass as a dessert, I like how beautiful it looks like, but most specially how good it taste. There’s more strawberry here than the chia, so it’s more like Strawberry and more Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding, well if I’m calling it Strawberry it has to live up to its name, right?

How To Make Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding

This recipe is pretty simple just like my Mango and Coconut Chia Seed Pudding. Soak the chia seed overnight with milk and honey and leave it in the refrigerator. Then blend it to make it smooth and creamy. If you don’t, you’ll have a clump of chia seed separated with the milk. Once that is done, have fun decorating it with toppings of your choice, or decorate it like what I did. Alternate chia seed pudding and strawberry, and a little bit of puree strawberry on top and a piece of half strawberry. Pretty delicious!

How to serve it

I always like serving it cold, but you can serve it and present in in the way you like it. I love it serve this way with alternative chia seed and chopped Strawberry. Youc can even mix the chopped Strawberry with the chia pudding and add lots of toppings. You are the master of this chia seed pudding, so decorate as you please.

This recipe used very few ingredients, and the Chia Seed was the star of the recipe. So I thought I’d share with you little interesting facts about Chia Seed. Here is goes.

What is Chai Seed? 

Chia seeds are tiny black seeds from the plant Salvia hispanica, which is related to the mint. Chia seeds were an important food for the Aztecs and Mayans back in the day. They prized them for their ability to provide sustainable energy. In fact, “chia” is the ancient Mayan word for “strength.” Despite their ancient history as a dietary staple, chia seeds became recognized as a modern-day super-food only recently. In the past few years, they have exploded in popularity and are now consumed by health conscious people all over the world. Don’t be fooled by the size — these tiny seeds pack a powerful nutritional punch.
