I really like this Strawberry Chia Pudding. It’s shiny and vibrant in coloration, bursting with berry taste, and naturally, massive on diet.
Native strawberries are in season and it’s the proper time to make this strawberry pudding. When these native berries hit the farmers’ markets and shops, we replenish. After all, it’s a brief season, it’s laborious to not replenish!
However this strawberry pudding can be fantastic with store-bought berries that maybe aren’t as shiny and juicy as you’d like. This recipe uplifts these lowly berries and now they style simply as full of life as native strawberries… or at the least, fairly shut!
I created this recipe after I scored a deal on store-bought natural berries. We had greater than we might work via contemporary, so I made a decision to freeze some – and remodel the remaining berries into this pleasant pudding.
After which issues bought higher!
I had positioned an order with Wilderness Poets, and with dragonfruit powder in my pantry determined so as to add a few tablespoons.
What coloration!
You should use this dragonfruit powder in puddings, sauces, ice lotions, oatmeal, cookies, frosting, and extra! Strive dipping my cocoa cookie dough balls within the powder (as beneath) – or add some to my vanilla frosting or Ninja vanilla ice cream. The probabilities!
Now, right here’s the factor… the dragonfruit powder isn’t important, however… as a result of it’s an entire fruit in powder kind, it provides pure sweetness to the pudding. Shade, sweetness, and extra dietary perks. You don’t want a lot both, only a tablespoon or 1/2 tablespoon will do.
However even should you don’t use the dragonfruit powder, the colour remains to be stunning – with the strawberries alone.
Subsequent, let’s discuss in regards to the chia. This isn’t a chia pudding per se, however does have some chia seed to assist thicken the combination. So I name it a chia pudding. However most chia puddings use a milk base. This one is pure fruit and fruit juice, to let the colours and flavors actually shine via!
You’ll be able to serve this pudding straight up or over ice cream, or layer with non-dairy yogurts parfait-style. Another serving concepts? Strive topping in your oatmeal, pancakes, or waffles!
I hope you like this pudding. Keep tuned for my subsequent put up to rework contemporary strawberry chia pudding right into a frozen deal with! x Dreena
