We love a chia seed pudding, but this strawberry version is our favorite one to make in the warmer months. A great way to use berries and they just add so much extra natural sweetness to this chia pudding with fruit.
We are big fans of chia seeds and sprinkle them on as many things as we can. But when mixed with liquid, they swell up into a gel-like, pudding texture.
Although you need to leave the chia pudding with strawberries in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to thicken, it's as simple as mixing everything together in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients and Substitutions
A full ingredients list, along with US Customary and Metric measurements, can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Milk - We used skim milk, but any milk will work here. You could use a non-dairy milk like soy milk or coconut milk, which would make it thicker and add a lot more flavor. Or you could use a nut milk like our homemade almond milk.
- Yogurt - Use Greek yogurt to get a nice thick and creamy texture. We used 0% fat, but you could use a higher fat percentage to give this strawberry chia seed pudding a creamier and less tangy flavor.
- Vanilla - Make sure you use vanilla extract and not essence.
- Maple Syrup - This is where most of the sweetness in the strawberry chia pudding recipe comes from. You could use another liquid sweetener like honey or agave.
- Strawberries - You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. If using frozen, then let them thaw for a little bit to make them easier to blend.
- Chia seeds - Make sure they are whole chia seeds and not ground. We try to use them in many different recipes, because they are a great source of Omega 3s. You can buy them in most supermarkets now, but you can also buy them in bulk on Amazon.
Variations
Fruit - Whilst we made a strawberry chia seed putting, any fruit goes here and we make so many different versions of this. You could use other berries like raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. You could also give it a tropical twist by using mango and pineapple.
Blend - To make this strawberry chia seed pudding even creamier and less gel like, you can blend it all together. That way, it becomes more mousse like.
Vegan - You can make a vegan version of this by swapping the milk and yogurt for a plant based version.

Serving Suggestions
We topped ours with some extra Greek yogurt and fresh strawberries. But there are lots of other options when it comes to toppings. You can't go wrong with some dark chocolate chips on top.
For something with a bit of extra crunch, why not add some granola? Try our Air Fryer Granola recipe or our Low Sugar Granola.
For extra protein you can drizzle some nut butter on top. Have you tried making your own Peanut Butter before? Our you could just sprinkle some crushed nuts on top.
Dannii's Top Tips
- If you are storing these in the fridge for a few days, then it might separate. You will just have to mix it up again before serving.
- If you love a chocolate and strawberry flavor combination, then you can stir a little cocoa powder into this.
- Give the chia pudding a protein boost by stirring some protein powder into it. You may need to add a little more milk to get the texture right.
Frequently Asked Questions
If this is stored in an airtight container, then it will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Don't put any extra toppings on until just before serving though.
Depending on the chia seeds you have used (if they are old rather than just opened), then might take the full time of overnight, rather than 4 hours, to get the right texting and really gel together. If you want a really thick pudding, then you can reduce the amount of milk.
