Many years ago, Victoria Richard submitted this chocolate strawberry chia pudding for one of our recipe contests. She blends fresh strawberries into her favorite dairy-free chocolate chia pudding for a blend that’s healthy enough for breakfast, but sweet enough for dessert.
Chocolate Strawberry Chia Pudding is a Blend of Nutrition and Good Taste
Victoria originally used So Delicious almond milk plus protein to make this recipe, but it has been discontinued. Consequently, we’ve updated her original recipe. If you would like to add a little extra protein, look for brands like Silk Protein Nut Milk or Orgain Protein Almond Milk. Alternatively, you can blend a little dairy-free protein into the recipe.
And don’t be afraid to play around with the flavor. You can use a chocolate milk beverage instead of plain or blend in different fruit, as Victoria suggests. Just think about which fruits are most delicious when chocolate covered!
