Get a taste of summer with this Strawberry Lemonade Chia Pudding recipe. Creamy, sweet, and packed with chia seeds in every layer!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 pounds (907g) whole milk Greek yogurt ((that's one Cabot container!))
  • 5 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 1.2 oz bag freeze dried strawberries (( you can find it at Trader Joe's))
  • ½ teaspoon beetroot powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
  • oats and diced fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add the chia seeds to the water and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour, or until the chia thickens the water, stirring occasionally. ( I like to use a whisk for this step)
  2. While the chia seeds thicken, turn the freeze dried strawberries into powder by placing them in a processor or nutribullet and blend for 30 seconds or until

Make Strawberry Powder (Dust)

  1. Add the dried strawberries to your blender or food processor (a NutriBullet works great too!).
  2. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds, until the strawberries turn into a fine, dust-like powder. Place aside.

Divide and Flavor the Layers

  1. Divide the chia yogurt into 3 bowls.
  2. Bowl One (strawberry): Add beetroot powder and all the freeze-dried strawberry powder. Mix to combine.
  3. Bowl two: Keep plain.
  4. Bowl three (lemonade): Add turmeric powder, lemon zest, and the lemon juice. Mix well to combine. This portion will be looser in texture. (Give a taste. If you'd like the "lemonade" part to be sweeter, add more pure maple syrup to desired taste.)

Putting it All Together

  1. Starting with strawberry, then a dollop of the plain, and finally, the lemonade. Repeat until you reach the top of your serving glass (or jar).
  2. Garnish with sprouted oats, and fresh diced strawberries (optional).
