Strawberry yogurt chia pudding (Paleo & Vegan)

Convenient grab-and-go breakfast or dessert.

Strawberry yogurt chia pudding is special enough for dessert yet nourishing enough for an everyday healthy breakfast. It’s naturally gluten- and grain-free, packed with fibre, and sweetened naturally. You can easily make it dairy-free too. When made with homemade yogurt, it’s full of protein, healthy fats, and gut-loving probiotics.

These puddings come together with just a few simple wholefood ingredients. We’ve used fresh, in-season strawberries, but thawed frozen berries work beautifully too.

One of the best things about chia puddings is how adaptable they are. Chia seeds absorb liquid and expand to create a thick, mousse-like texture. The base liquid can vary depending on your dietary preference. We’ve infused ours with L. reuteri homemade yogurt, but any plant-based homemade yogurt is just as delicious.

If you’d like to explore more homemade yogurt options, head over to our yogurt maker recipe blog for both dairy and plant-based versions.

While chia puddings need at least four hours to set, the Vibe Blender System makes prep a breeze—just a few minutes of hands-on time. Store your puddings in Luvele glass vacuum containers for the perfect make-ahead breakfast or snack that will last up to five days in the fridge.

For the best texture, prepare your puddings the night before and wake up to a creamy, nourishing treat.

Ingredients

1 cup homemade yogurt (dairy or plant-based)
½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (more to taste)
200 grams fresh of organic strawberries
2 teaspoons of vanilla
1 teaspoon of lemon Juice
1/3 cup chia seeds

Method

1.   Hull and wash strawberries.
2.   Add all the ingredients (except the chia seeds) into the Vibe blender jug, secure the lid then blend on ‘smoothie’ mode for 20 seconds or until smooth and creamy. 
3.   Lift the jug off the base, remove the lid and pour in the chia seeds.
4.   Use a spatula to stir the chia seeds through the strawberry yogurt mixture, making sure to get down under the blades.
5.   Divide the mixture between two glasses.
6.   Place the chia puddings in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will soak up the liquid and thicken to a pudding-like consistency. 
7.   Garnish with coconut, additional yogurt or berries.
5.   Best enjoyed within 5 days.
