❤️ Why you will love this recipe

Quick and easy: It only takes a few minutes to prepare.

Chocolate shell: A thin layer of chocolate sets in the fridge, creating a crackable shell that adds a delicious crunch.

No blender needed: Simply mash the strawberries with a fork.

Creamy and delicious: Greek yogurt makes this strawberry chia pudding thick, creamy, and satisfying.

Ingredients needed

You only need five simple ingredients to make this strawberry chia pudding with Greek yogurt.

Strawberries: Use 150 g fresh strawberries. Ripe, sweet strawberries will give your pudding the best flavor. Have extra strawberries to use up? My Strawberry Smoothie Bowl is another quick breakfast option.

Greek yogurt: You'll need 250 g Greek yogurt. It makes the pudding thick and creamy while adding protein, and there's no need to add milk.

Chia seeds: Three tablespoons of chia seeds help thicken the yogurt and strawberry mixture as it chills.

Honey: Add 2 teaspoons of honey if you'd like some extra sweetness. This is optional, so you can leave it out if your strawberries and yogurt are already sweet enough.

Chocolate: Melt 50 g of chocolate and pour it over the pudding before refrigerating. Once chilled, it creates a chocolate shell on top.

SUBSTITUTIONS & VARIATIONS

Yogurt: Use your favourite thick Greek yogurt. Vanilla Greek yogurt can also be used, but you may want to reduce or skip the honey.

Sweetener: Swap the honey for maple syrup if preferred.

Chocolate: Milk chocolate gives the pudding a sweeter shell, while dark chocolate creates a richer topping.

Strawberries: Fresh strawberries give the best texture, but thawed frozen strawberries can work too. Drain excess liquid before mashing.

Step-by-step instructions

Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full printable recipe and exact instructions.

1. Mash the strawberries

Place the strawberries in a bowl and mash them well with a fork. You can leave a few small strawberry pieces for extra texture.

2. Add the yogurt and chia seeds

Add the Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and honey, if using, to the mashed strawberries.

Stir everything together until the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.

3. Add the chocolate topping

Transfer the strawberry chia pudding to a small bowl, jar, or serving glass.

Melt the chocolate until smooth, then pour it over the top of the pudding and gently spread it into an even layer.

4. Refrigerate

Place the pudding in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the chia pudding has thickened and the chocolate topping has completely set.

When you're ready to eat it, crack through that chocolate layer with a spoon and enjoy!

❓FAQS

Tips for the best chia pudding

Use ripe strawberries: The sweeter and riper the strawberries, the more flavour your pudding will have.

Give it enough time to set: Chia seeds need time to absorb moisture and thicken the pudding. Refrigerate until the mixture is thick and creamy.

Adjust the sweetness: Taste the strawberry and yogurt mixture before adding the chocolate. Depending on your strawberries and yogurt, you may want more or less honey.

For a smooth chocolate shell: Melt the chocolate gently and spread it in a thin, even layer over the pudding. A thinner layer is easier to crack with a spoon.

Make it ahead: This recipe is ideal for preparing the night before so the chia seeds have plenty of time to soften and thicken. For another easy prep-ahead breakfast, try my Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats.
