Start by washing 1 pound of fresh strawberries under cool water. Remove the stems and cut them into halves or quarters for easier blending. Place the prepared strawberries into a blender and blend until smooth, creating a vibrant strawberry puree.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry puree with 1 cup of soy milk, ¼ cup of chia seeds, 1 cup of strawberry Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a whisk to thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.

Allow the combined pudding mixture to rest for about 5 minutes at room temperature to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.

Transfer the chia pudding mixture into individual jars or bowls. Cover them with lids or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

Before serving, give the Creamy Strawberry Chia Pudding a good stir. Serve directly from jars or bowls and top with granola and fresh strawberry slices.
