Description
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
- 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)
- 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)
- Add the dried strawberries to your blender or food processor (a NutriBullet works great too!).
- Blend on high speed for 30 seconds, until the strawberries turn into a fine, dust-like powder. Place aside.
Divide and Flavor the Layers
- Divide the chia yogurt into 3 bowls.
- Bowl One (strawberry): Add beetroot powder and all the freeze-dried strawberry powder. Mix to combine.
- Bowl two: Keep plain.
- 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
- 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).
- Garnish with sprouted oats, and fresh diced strawberries (optional).
