It’s strawberry season! This juicy, heart-shaped fruit is the epitome of summer and not to mention packed with goodness.
Treat the family to this strawberry cheesecake chia pudding at snack time or for dessert. The kids will love this healthy and fresher rendition of the classic recipe, and moms and dads will love how healthy it is for them!
With only 5 ingredients, this super rich strawberry cheesecake chia pudding is easy to make and involves little time and energy to prepare.
On that note, don’t be fooled by the few ingredients and the simplicity of this recipe!
You might be wondering how this simple, healthy pudding might possibly have the same flavour profile as traditional cheesecake…
The secret ingredient in this recipe are the chia seeds. When combined with the Greek yogurt, this tiny superfood plumps up, adding richness and a tapioca-like consistency to the yogurt.
Top the chia yogurt with fresh, pureed strawberries, sweetened with natural maple syrup, and layer both over crumbly cookies. And there you have it, a healthy rendition of strawberry cheesecake that lacks neither in texture nor flavour!
Not only is this recipe delicious, it is packed with goodness-which means you can rest assured that you are feeding your family a healthy treat.
Whether you purchase fresh strawberries at your local market or pick them yourself, these delectable little morsels are packed with flavour and essential vitamins and nutrients, such as fiber, flavonoids (which lower the risk of heart disease), and biotin (which helps build strong hair and nails).
If you try this recipe (and love it!) be sure to snap a pic and tag me on Instagram with #bitesforfoodies so I can see your creation!
where do you get chia seeds?
YOu can buy them at most grocery stores…I get mine at CostCo!
It looks absolutely delicious! And also guilt free! (you know that bikini season is just round the corner!)
Yep, exactly! There isn’t one thing that you should feel guilty about eating in this!
That looks fantastic. I have never made anything with chia seeds before but I always hear how good they are.
I love making chia pudding as a snack, but I haven’t used the seeds to thicken yogurt yet. I love this idea!
Thanks! Greek yogurt is already quite thick but the chia seeds add even more texture…and they’re so healthy too!
This would made my day and my kids have always wanted to try this Strawberry cheesecake pudding. Thank you for the recipe!
Hope they love it!
Oooooo this looks absolutely delicious!!!! Wish I had one of these right about now for a snack before bed!!!! Looks too yummy!!!
This is so good! I am loving the creamy combination of yogurt and fruit!
I need to make this delicious concoction! Love that one of the main ingredients is Greek Yogurt! Yummy and healthy…my type of treat! 🙂
Thanks! It seriously tastes like a dessert…minus the fat and calories 😉
I love chia seeds, but I have never tried chia pudding before. This recipe looks utterly scrumptious!
Chia pudding is so easy to make!
That looks so good! I still haven’t tried the chia seeds. That is really an interesting drink.
I like chia pudding, but don’t make it nearly enough since my daughter is not a fan. Maybe I’ll make this for just me 😀
Yes, you should, lol!
What a great combination of healthy flavors! I would love to try some now!
Love the look in that glass! Great that it only takes 10 minutes to prepare. We’ll be giving this recipe a try.
Thanks…the glass was an after thought since I couldn’t find an appropriate serving bowl, lol!
This sounds really good and I think it would be awesome to make for my mother for Mother;s Day. She loves strawberry cheesecake. Thanks so much for sharing.
I agree, this would be perfect for Mother’s Day…pretty to look at and healthy to eat!
I’ve never tried this before, looks yummy and strawberry is one of my favorite.
My youngest would be all over this!! Sounds like a delicious dessert!
I’m sure you’ll love it too 😉
That Strawberry Cheesecake Chia Pudding looks so yummy! I’m always up for strawberry based desserts <3
This looks so delicious. I will have to try this on the weekend. I have never tried Chia seeds before.
I love the addition of chia seeds. This looks like a great dessert and bonus that it is healthy.
Actually, the chia seeds really make the recipe since they give the Greek yogurt that thick, cheesecake-like consistency!
Wow you got me! At first looking at the picture I thought it might be a healthy but complicated dessert. Only 5 ingredients, eh? I am totally in! Have you tried chia chocolate pudding? It’s so addicting too!
I think the food photography works against me sometimes because it makes the recipes look more complicated than they are! lol! And yes, I’ve made vanilla bean pudding and chocolate pudding! I love chia!
That looks delicious! I think I wouldn’t want to share with the intended audience haha
That happens often when I make desserts for the kids…I’ve learnt my lesson though and always double the recipe before I make it so I can have some too, lol!
I love Strawberries! This looks like a winning recipe. Thanks so much for sharing it.
I like doing any strawberry recipe that doesn’t require oven but the problem is, we have a hard time getting fresh strawberries here in our place.
Anyway, I want to try this one! Looks yummy to me!
That’s too bad! What about frozen strawberries?
I’ll try if we have one here in the market. I haven’t seen frozen strawberries. They always display those fresh ones and after awhile gets rotten.
I’m so excited that strawberries are back! 🙂 i’ve never actually tried chia seeds or chia pudding but this looks amazing!
This looks beyond delicious, I love anything and everything with strawberry in it. And the fact that it’s healthy means I can have them two at a time right? Lol.
Of course it does, lol! You’ll be surprised at how filling this is even though it’s fresh and light-tasting!
It looks interesting, I bet my S/O would like it. I don’t like strawberries, but he has a particular weakness for Strawberry Cheesecake! So it’d likely be a hit!
Blueberries or raspberries would work great in this too!
Oh WOw!! This sounds amazing, but personally I love anything with cheesecake!! 🙂
HECK YES! I can’t wait to try this… like probably in the next hour! My fiancee always keeps chia seeds in the house and they really do get nice and plump! What a great, healthy recipe for a sweet tooth treat! Thank you!
Love the enthusiasm, thanks!
This looks delicious! Can you send some over for me? Hehehe I love reading your recipes! My son is going to be trying lots of these.
Lol! That would be nice!
Wow, not only is that beautiful but looks like it tastes amazing too! I will make this for sure!
These are really beautiful! I know how healthy chia seeds are for you too, so I will have to try this!
This looks very tasty right now. I am craving for some yummy dessert all morning so this would be great!
This definitely tastes like a dessert!
It IS strawberry season and I’m so jealous you got these beauties here!! We tried to get some the last time we went but they were only selling them in these HUGE containers. I’m headed to a different store next time. I’m ready for my strawberry fix! Your pudding looks delish.
I’m not a fan of purchasing strawberries in those huge containers because I feel like they tend to go bad sooner!
I really need to try this! We’ve got most of the ingredients now! It looks so refreshing.
Wow, this is giving me such a craving! Beautiful pictures—can’t wait to try this out 🙂
Thank you…my work is done 😉
This looks really good and simple to make. I love that it overall a pretty healthy snack choice too.
It is very healthy, especially if you opt for sugar-free cookies too!
Yum! That looks super good. I love a good Chia pudding latelt, I’ve been eating lots! This looks amazing!
Funny, because I’m not a fan of tapioca yet I love chia pudding!
It looks amazing! I’m all about easy recipes that look like a million bucks and this one sure fits the bill! I think I have all the ingredients on hand . . .
I can attest to the fact that this is just as delicious served mixed together, lol!,
This looks incredible! I’m for sure going to have to make this recipe soon! Thanks for sharing it with me!
I love desserts like this: ones that take minutes to make but look like they were prepared meticulously by a master chef. I should make this for my wife this summer.
Oh wow! What a compliment! Thanks 😉
OMG, not only is this healthy it looks amazing. Work of art.
Thanks so much!
That looks amazingly delicious. I love that it’s full of chia seeds. They’re so healthy!
Yes, they are! We love them…I also use them often in baked goods!
That is something I would love at breakfast time. I eat things like this often, so I think it is a great way to start the day!
This would be great for breakfast or an anytime snack (even a late night snack!)
