Ingredients

1¼ cups (300 ml) 100% orange juice
1 cup plain, vanilla, or coconut Greek yogurt
½ cup chia seeds
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped or lightly mashed
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries

Place the chopped strawberries into a large mixing bowl or storage container. Lightly mash them with a fork to release some of their natural juices while leaving small fruit pieces for texture.

Step 2: Mix the Base

Add the orange juice, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey if using.

Whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Add the Chia Seeds

Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Allow the mixture to rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from settling or clumping together.

The magic happens while the pudding chills—overnight, the chia seeds absorb the liquid and transform into a thick, creamy texture that’s perfect for breakfast or dessert.
