INGREDIENTS USED IN STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE CHIA PUDDING

• STRAWBERRIES

Strawberries add natural sweetness, a tangy kick, and vibrant color to oats chia pudding, making it more flavorful and visually appealing. They provide a juicy texture contrast and a boost of vitamin C and antioxidants, enhancing both taste and nutrition.
Start with fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Using premium ingredients will enhance the overall taste of your pudding.

• BANANAS

Bananas bring natural creaminess, sweetness, and a hint of tropical flavor to oats chia pudding. They enhance the texture, balance the tanginess of strawberries, and add potassium and fiber, making the dish more wholesome and satisfying. Bananas and strawberries complement each other very well.

• MILK

Milk is the base for any chia pudding, Milk is blended along with a few other ingredients and is then refrigerated overnight with chia seeds to let it set. It gives structure and creaminess to the Chia Pudding. I have used Nestle milk but you can use any of your choice.

• OATS

Oats are a nutrient-dense whole grain, rich in fibre, vitamins, and minerals. They add valuable nutrients to the dish, including fibre, which supports digestive health and provides a feeling of fullness. Oats have a mild, nutty flavour that complements the sweetness of the berries and honey. They also add a chewy, textured element to the pudding, creating a balanced sensory experience.

• CHIA SEEDS

Chia seeds have a remarkable ability to absorb liquid and expand, creating a gel-like consistency. This property turns the mixture into a thick, pudding-like texture without the need for cooking or additional thickeners. Chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with fibre, protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. This makes chia pudding a nutrient-rich option. Chia seeds have a mild, nutty flavour that blends well with various ingredients, allowing them to take on the flavours of other components in the pudding.

• HONEY

Honey is added to the strawberry milkshake Chia Pudding to impart the right amount of sweetness to this dessert. Honey is a natural source of various nutrients, including antioxidants and trace minerals, which is why it is better than sugar. It allows you to adjust the level of sweetness to your preference. You can add more or less honey depending on how sweet you want the chia pudding to be.

• Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preferences. You can use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup.
• If serving the pudding in individual glasses or jars, consider layering the chia pudding with fresh strawberry slices or a dollop of whipped cream for a visually appealing presentation.
