Strawberry Banana Bliss Pudding Recipe

Dietary Adjustments
For a vegan version, use plant‑based yogurt (such as soy or coconut) and replace honey with maple syrup. Gluten‑free diners can safely enjoy this pudding as all ingredients are naturally gluten‑free; just ensure any granola topping is certified gluten‑free. To lower the carb count, reduce the fruit portion slightly and increase chia seeds for added fiber.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pudding in elegant glass jars for a brunch buffet. Pair with a side of toasted whole‑grain English muffins or a light citrus salad for contrast. For a festive twist, drizzle a raspberry coulis over the top and sprinkle edible flower petals.

Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups plain vanilla Greek yogurt
Liquid & Sweeteners
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Thickening & Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional Toppings
- Granola or toasted nuts
- Extra strawberry or banana slices
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Blending the Creamy Core
- Add Yogurt & Milk. Pour 2 cups plain vanilla Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk into the blender. Blend on medium speed for 20‑30 seconds until the mixture is uniformly smooth and the fruit is fully incorporated.
- Sweeten & Flavor. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons raw honey, add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt. Blend again for another 10 seconds. The salt amplifies the fruit’s natural sweetness while the vanilla rounds out the flavor profile.
- Incorporate Chia Seeds. Transfer the blended mixture to a large mixing bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons chia seeds with a whisk, ensuring there are no clumps. Chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding within minutes.
- Set the Pudding. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 minutes, though 10‑15 minutes yields a firmer texture. You’ll notice the mixture turning a richer, pudding‑like consistency as the chia seeds swell.
- Final Adjustments. After chilling, give the pudding a quick stir. If it feels too thick, whisk in a splash of almond milk. Taste and adjust sweetness with an extra drizzle of honey if desired.
