Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ¾ cup non-dairy milk (I like oat, cashew or almond milk best)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (can use vanilla bean or vanilla bean paste but they are more concentrated so use less)
- 5 large fresh strawberries
- 2 extra fresh strawberries (for chopping and stirring into the overnight oats_
toppings:
- nut butter, banana, fresh fruit, granola, nuts, seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, yogurt.
Instructions
- Add the 5 fresh strawberries to a blender with the non-dairy milk, maple syrup and vanilla and blend until creamy smooth.
- Add the oats, chia seeds and chop up the other 2 fresh strawberries and add to a jar or bowl then addd in the "strawberry milk" mixture and whisk together. Place in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from fridge, whisk out any clumps and then return to the fridge for at least 3-4 hours preferably overnight. Can store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- When ready to enjoy add your favorite toppings, I like nut butter and banana the best.

Notes
Yogurt: Yes you can add 2 tablespoons or so of your favorite vegan yogurt if you would like, it's just my personal preference I don't like it mixed in but I don't mind topping it with vegan yogurt.
Blended: For a blended chia seed pudding place all the ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. Then follow the rest of the same steps listed above.
Strawberries: Make sure they are sweet and ripe, if they are under ripe of not sweet this will not be a very sweet chia pudding and won't be a good. I like to wait until my strawberries are very red and almost soft, not rotten soggy soft but soft to the touch not firm.
