Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries, almond milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into a bowl or large jar and stir in the chia seeds.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to expand and thicken the mixture into a pudding-like consistency.
- Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve the chia pudding in individual bowls or glasses, garnished with fresh strawberries if desired.
