Strawberry lime chia pudding is a delicious healthy breakfast with a pudding-like consistency that is super easy to make.

I love chia pudding. It’s an easy breakfast that just about anyone can make and is super easy to customize. Not to mention, once strawberry season rolls around, it’s a great excuse to put strawberries on and in everything. Since you can make this recipe ahead of time, it’s also a perfect option for busy mornings.

Ingredients in Strawberry Lime Chia Pudding

Here’s what you need for this chia seed pudding recipe.

Sweet strawberries: Fresh strawberries are highly recommended. You can also use frozen strawberries, just make sure that they’re mostly thawed.

Coconut milk (or other dairy-free milk): I highly recommended using full-fat coconut milk. Cashew milk or another non-dairy milk can also used.

Chia seeds: either black or white chia seeds will do

Pure maple syrup: gives just the right amount of natural sweetness

lime juice: fresh lime juice is a must

coconut flakes: feel free to use unsweetened coconut flakes as a garnish

lime zest: the zest make it zing

Substitutions and Additions

Once you have a basic recipe for healthy chia pudding you’re free to customize it as you please. For example, the strawberry puree can be swapped for a myriad of other fruit purees like bananas, blueberries or even mango or guava.

If you like vanilla, feel free to add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. You can also garnish the chia pudding with some extra chia seeds on top.

Benefits of Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are true superfoods in every sense of the word. While chia seeds ae indeed small in size, they pack a big nutritional punch. That’s why they are one of my favorite toppings in everything from muffins to smoothies. Here are some of the benefits of chia seeds. Not only are chia seeds are a powerful antioxidant, but they also have high protein and are a great source of fiber. Just 2.5 tablespoons of chia seeds have five grams of protein and ten grams of fiber respectfully.

These benefits are helpful in lowering the risk of heart disease, supporting weight loss and flooding the body with needed phytonutrients to limit disease.

Health Benefits of Coconut Milk

While you can use any one of plant-based milks to make this easy strawberry chia pudding, I advocate for using coconut milk in this recipe because it’s a great way to get some healthy fats in your diet. Some of the health benefits of coconut milk include supporting weight loss, supple skin and healthy hair. And believe it or not, even though coconut is rich in fat, those fatty acids also promote heart health.
