Instructions

Blend the strawberry base: To a blender cup, add the thawed frozen strawberries, unsweetened soy milk, unsweetened plant-based yogurt, maple syrup, freeze-dried strawberries, vanilla extract, a pinch of kosher salt, and coconut flakes. Blend until completely smooth, making sure to scrape down the sides of the blender cup to incorporate all ingredients thoroughly.
Mix chia pudding: Pour the chia seeds into a large storage container. Pour the blended strawberry milk mixture over the chia seeds. Whisk the mixture vigorously to combine and evenly distribute the chia seeds. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the seeds to start absorbing the liquid. Whisk again to break up any clumps, then cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to let it fully set.
Prepare almond date crumble: Using a mini-food processor, combine the blanched almonds, rolled oats, coconut flakes, soft Medjool dates, and a pinch of kosher salt. Pulse the mixture until it reaches a crumbly texture to your liking, ensuring the dates are evenly incorporated and the almonds are coarsely ground.
Assemble and serve: In serving cups, spoon a layer of the almond date crumble at the bottom. Add a generous layer of chia pudding over the crumble. Top with another spoonful of the crumble and garnish with extra fresh strawberry slices if desired. Serve chilled for a refreshing treat.

Notes

Sweeten the chia pudding according to your taste preference; adjust the amount of maple syrup if using sweetened yogurt or sweeter strawberries.
Adjust the pudding consistency by adding a splash more soy milk before serving if you prefer it thinner.
To avoid chia seed clumps, stir the initial mixture well, let it sit, then stir again before refrigerating.
For a stronger berry flavor, consider adding 1-2 tablespoons of strawberry jam to the blended mixture.
Optionally, mash 3 thawed frozen strawberries, strain to collect juice, mix with 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup, and drizzle over the pudding as a fresh topping.
