Ingredients You'll Need
You'll only need five simple ingredients:
- Fresh strawberries
- Strawberry protein powder
- Unsweetened soy milk or other plant-based milk
- Vanilla extract
- Chia seeds
- A pinch of salt
Tips for the Best Chia Pudding
- Blend the strawberries until completely smooth for the creamiest texture.
- Stir the pudding again about 5–10 minutes after mixing. This helps prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
- Let it chill overnight if you can. The texture gets even thicker and creamier.
- If your pudding is thicker than you'd like, stir in a splash of plant milk before serving.
My Favorite Strawberry Protein Powder
For the best strawberry flavor, I used EarthChimp Strawberry Protein Powder. It blends smoothly, has a naturally sweet strawberry taste, and is made with plant-based ingredients that work perfectly in this chia pudding.

Recipe
Strawberry Chia Pudding
Ingredients
- ½ lb fresh strawberries
- ½ serving (18g) EarthChimp Strawberry Protein Powder
- 1 cup unsweetened soy milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- ¼ cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, protein powder, almond milk (or soy milk), vanilla extract, and salt to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl or large jar and whisk in the chia seeds until evenly combined.
- Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps and help the chia seeds distribute evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
- Stir well before serving. Enjoy as is, or top with fresh strawberries, sliced banana, granola, hemp hearts, or a dollop of dairy-free yogurt.
Notes
- Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
- Protein Powder: Different protein powders absorb liquid differently. If your pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk. If it's too thin, add 1–2 teaspoons of chia seeds and let it sit for another 20–30 minutes.
- Soy Milk Option: Using unsweetened soy milk increases the protein content even more while making the pudding extra creamy.
