Instructions:
- Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries. Set aside a few slices for garnish if desired.
2. Blend the Base:
- In a blender, combine the low-fat cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Sweeten and Flavor:
- Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and honey to the blended mixture. Blend again to incorporate all the ingredients.
- Add the sliced strawberries (reserving some for garnish if desired) to the blender. Pulse a few times to combine, leaving some small chunks of strawberries for texture or blend until fully smooth, depending on your preference.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Gently fold in the chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Allow the pudding mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to expand and thicken the pudding, creating a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- Once the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir. Layer the pudding into serving glasses or jars.
- Start with a layer of chia pudding, followed by a layer of reserved strawberry slices, and continue layering until all the pudding is used.
