Strawberry Chia-Flax Pudding

Strawberry Chia-Flax Pudding is a fun and light summer snack - it’s like combining the childhood classic strawberry milk with a grown-up boost of protein, fat, and fiber from the flax and chia seeds. 

I definitely went through a phase in childhood were strawberry milk >>> chocolate milk. What makes that bottled creamy pink drink so delicious? It doesn’t even taste like strawberries! As I grew up and my palate evolved, I’ve become very particular about strawberry flavor. I have found that there are very few strawberry-flavored things I like - they always taste too artificial to me. When it comes to strawberries, give me the real deal every day.

To get the most flavor from this Strawberry Chia-Flax Pudding, be sure to eat it within the first one to three days. Beyond that, the flavor of the seeds begins to overpower the subtle strawberry sweetness. To also get the best flavor, select the ripest, reddest strawberries you can to make the puree. The pink color is very subtle in these puddings, so the redder the berries, the better the color. 

Enjoy these Strawberry Chia-Flax Puddings for breakfast, snack, or dessert - they’re a refreshing and good-for-you summer treat any time of day!
