Preparing The Ingredients

To start your vegan banana strawberry chia seed pudding, you’ll need a few simple ingredients. First, gather ripe bananas. Make sure they’re speckled with brown spots for natural sweetness.

Next, you’ll need fresh strawberries. You can slice them or chop them into chunks, depending on your preference.

Chia seeds are the next important ingredient. They create the pudding’s thick and creamy texture. Measure out the desired amount in a cup or bowl.

Now, for the liquid, use almond milk or any preferred plant-based milk. This will help mix everything smoothly.

It’s a good idea to have a little vanilla extract on hand. A small splash can add a lovely flavor to your pudding.

Finally, if you want a touch more sweetness, consider having some maple syrup nearby.

Once everything is ready, you’ll be set to blend and combine for a delicious treat!

Serving Suggestions

• Vegan banana strawberry chia seed pudding tastes great on its own. For a fresh twist, try adding a few slices of fresh strawberries or banana on top. You can also sprinkle some chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for extra crunch.
• Chilling the pudding for a few hours before serving makes it more flavorful. Use a clear glass or jar to highlight the layers and colors of the pudding, giving an attractive look at the table.
• For special occasions, drizzle a little bit of maple syrup or honey over the top. It adds a nice touch of sweetness without overpowering the natural flavors.
• If you’re feeling adventurous, pair it with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream or yogurt, creating a delightful dessert combo. Serve it with a side of mixed berry salad for a fruity explosion.
• You can also enjoy this pudding as a breakfast option. Pair it with a warm cup of herbal tea or coffee. It fits well into any meal plan, whether it’s breakfast, lunch, snack, or dessert.

Storage Tips

• Keep your vegan banana strawberry chia seed pudding in an airtight container. This helps prevent it from absorbing other smells in the fridge. Make sure the container is clean and dry before adding your pudding.
• Store the pudding in the fridge as soon as you make it. It stays fresh for about 3 to 5 days. Give it a gentle stir before serving to mix the flavors nicely.
• For longer storage, you can freeze it. Use a freezer-safe container, leaving some space at the top. When you’re ready to eat, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. You might notice a change in texture after freezing, so stir well before serving.
• If you notice any odd smell or color, it’s best to toss it out. Freshness is key for enjoying your pudding. Keeping an eye on these details ensures that you always have a tasty treat ready to go.
