Creamy soy yogurt, naturally sweet strawberry chia jam, and omega-3-rich chia seeds come together to create a thick, luscious pudding that sets overnight in the fridge. This strawberry chia seed pudding is easy, satisfying, and honestly… kind of hard to stop eating.
Health Benefits
- Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and plant protein. They support heart health, digestion, and blood sugar balance. When hydrated, they form a gel-like texture that slows digestion and helps keep you full longer.
- Soy milk and soy yogurt provide complete plant protein, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids. Soy is also associated with heart health benefits and may support healthy cholesterol levels.
- Strawberries are loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, and polyphenols that help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
Key Ingredients
- Soy Yogurt: This recipe uses our Easy Soy Yogurt recipe that boosts creaminess, protein, and tang. It makes this pudding richer and thicker than versions made with milk alone.
- Strawberry Chia Seed Jam: Provides natural sweetness, bold strawberry flavor, and a beautiful pink hue. It also enhances thickness thanks to the extra chia seeds in the jam.
A full list of ingredients with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Substitutions and Variations
- Swap soy milk with oat milk, coconut milk, or our Homemade Almond Milk.
- Okay to use store-bought plain unsweetened soy or coconut yogurt.
- Add a tablespoon of peanut butter for a PB-and-strawberry twist.
- Blend or whisk a teaspoon of matcha powder into the soy milk before mixing it into the pudding for a matcha-strawberry chia pudding. You may also like our Matcha Chia Seed Pudding.
- Top with our Vanilla Almond Granola or Orange Walnut Granola for crunch, or coconut flakes for extra flavor.
