    This Strawberries and Cream Chia Pudding is so creamy and decadent that you'd never believe it's healthy! Completely naturally sweetened, vegan, and gluten-free, it makes the perfect afternoon snack or dessert.

    I'm in love I'm in love and I don't care who knows it!!!

    Not with a human. With a food group. A food group called THIS CHIA PUDDING. I've been eating it so frequently that I've deemed it a food group and I think you should, too!

    I've decided that blending the chia pudding makes it three and half billion times better. It's a real game changer. You know how some people hate chia pudding because of that tapioca texture? No longer! This version is super creamy and decadent tasting thanks to the blended chia concoction, naturally sweet Medjool dates, and raw cashews. You'd never know you were shoving a boatload of fiber and anti-inflammatory omega-3's into your pie-hole. Nevaaaaaa!

    But the toppings...the toppings took it over the top, as toppings should. I've been making coconut whipped cream using canned full fat coconut milk for a while now, but I've never featured it in a recipe. Today is the day!

    Aside from fresh coconut whipped cream and juicy strawbs, you probably noticed those chocolatey looking chunks on top, AKA my new favorite afternoon snack bar!

    Curate recently came out with a line of whole food snack bars (both adult and kid bars) that put a culinary twist on traditional snacking. They're all totally non-GMO, gluten-free, and have no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. The best part is not just that they're a wholesome snack you can trust, but that they seriously taste divine.

    Like, I crave them.

    It adds the perfect chocolatey crunch and chew to each bite paired with the cooling coconut whipped cream. Enjoying one of these bad boys as a mid-day snack is one thing, but topping your chia pudding is a whole other level of yumminess.

    There are six flavors in the line, but my favorite is obviously the Salted Decadence (Hemp Seeds, Marcona Almonds, Quinoa, Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt) because salt + chocolate is everything. Other tasty flavors include Dark and Tempting Balsamic Fig and Hazelnut), Irresistible Dark Chocolate (Strawberries and Pistachios) Indulgent (Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut), Harmonious Blend (Marcona Almond and Apricot, and Sweet and Tart (Berry Bliss). You can snag these beauties at Target and on Amazon!

    Don't be surprised when (not if) this becomes your new favorite treat. Scrumptious is a vast understatement!

    Description

    This Strawberries and Cream Chia Pudding is so creamy and decadent that you'd never believe it's healthy! Completely naturally sweetened, vegan, and gluten-free, it makes the perfect afternoon snack or dessert.


    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    For the chia pudding:

    • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    • ⅓ cup chia seeds
    • 1 tsp lemon juice
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup raw cashews
    • 6 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
    • ¾ cup sliced strawberries (plus more for topping)
    • 1 Salted Decadence Curate Bar, for topping
    • Coconut whipped cream

    For the coconut whipped cream:

    • 1 can full fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
    • 2 tsp pure maple syrup
    • ½ tsp vanilla extract

    Instructions

    1. Place almond milk and chia seeds in a large bowl or glass Tupperware, whisking to combine. Add lemon juice, vanilla, cashews, and dates. Stir, cover, and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
    2. To make the coconut milk whipped cream, open the can and gently scrape the solid layer into a mixing bowl, avoiding the liquid portion. Add maple syrup and vanilla and beat until light fluffy. Chill until ready to serve.
    3. Once chia mixture has chilled, dump into a Nutribullet or high-speed blender along with ¾ cup sliced strawberries and blend well until smooth and creamy.
    4. Portion into 2-3 cups and top with whipped cream, sliced strawberries, and chopped Curate bar.

      Have you tried blending before you let it sit overnight? I've read a few recipes that do it that way. I have trouble getting all the thick pudding out of the Vitamix and was wondering if it might be easier when it wasn't so thick.

        I haven't only because I like the cashews to soften up. Not a bad idea!!

      Please tell me your opening line was a reference to "Elf..." Because that would make me so happy! πŸ˜‰ You're totally brilliant to blend the chia pudding!! I'm okay with the texture of regular chia pudding, but not the biggest fan, so I know I'd totally fall head over heels for a blended version. And those bars on top?? I need to head to Target ASAP -- they look amazing!
