Strawberry Banana Chia Pudding Recipe for a Sweet, Fresh, and Delicious Snack
Buckle up for a classic fruit pairing bursting with flavor when you try my strawberry banana chia pudding recipe, and prepare to feel energized and satisfied from the very first mouthful.
Strawberry Banana Chia Pudding Recipe
Often I’ll grab a banana just before leaving the house, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this chia pudding fuels you with energy from the moment it touches your lips.
The ripe sweetness and slight acidity of the strawberries add a delightful little punch, while the crunch of the berry and chia seeds add another layer to the smooth, dense creamy milk and banana pudding.
There is just so much to love about this sweet and delicious chia pudding. It is perfect for a hearty breakfast, fruity dessert, or a pick-me-up snack when I feel tired during the work day.
Ingredients
To make my sweet and creamy strawberry banana chia pudding, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Carton Coconut Milk* – 2 cups
- Chia Seeds – 8 tbsp
- Strawberries – 10 medium strawberries
- Banana – 1 large banana
- Sweetener (agave or honey) – 2 tbsp
* Don’t use the canned coconut milk. In the US, you can use the coconut milk sold in cartons. In the UK or EU, you’ll find the carton coconut milk under the name of ‘coconut drink.’
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – To a blender, add the coconut milk, hulled strawberries (without the leafy green tops), sweetener, and half of the peeled banana.
Step 2 – Blend the mixture until smooth.
Step 3 – Divide the liquid between two jars and add 4 tbsp of chia seeds to each jar.
Step 4 – Stir the chia seeds in with a spoon. Let the jars sit on the countertop for 15-20 minutes and then stir again. This way, we’re making sure we won’t have any chia seed clumps at the end.
Step 5 – Take the remaining half of the banana and cut it into small chunks that you can stir into the chia pudding.
Step 6 – Cover the chia puddings with lids or saran wrap/cling film, and refrigerate them overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
Step 7 – When ready to serve, I like to serve it with a little garnish of any chopped strawberries and banana slices I have left over. I like to think of them as sweet little fruity treats to dig out from the jar with a creamy spoonful of chia pudding!
I absolutely adore this combination. Let’s face it, strawberries and bananas have been a match made in heaven for, well, ever! They add so much sweetness, creaminess, and a welcome little tartness to the thick, luscious chia pudding.
If you want to get your kids into healthy eating, this is a great chia pudding to try. Strawberries and bananas are very sweet and fun flavors, so hopefully, they’ll lap this up like a bowl of ice cream!
