Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (opt for full-fat for extra creaminess)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey (adjust to your sweetness preference)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: Additional sliced strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

Blend the Strawberries: In a blender, add the hulled and sliced strawberries. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. For added texture, you can set aside a few chunks of strawberries to mix in later.

    Prepare the Coconut Base: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, pure maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the blended strawberry puree into the coconut milk mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure they are well combined. Then, add the chia seeds to the mixture, stirring well to distribute them evenly.

        Let it Rest: Allow the combined mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature. Stir occasionally to prevent clumping and let the chia seeds swell, thickening the mixture into a pudding-like consistency.

          Fill Popsicle Molds: Carefully pour the chia pudding mixture into popsicle molds, filling them about three-quarters full. If desired, drop in a few slices of strawberries to enhance both color and texture.

            Insert Sticks: Place the popsicle sticks into the centers of the molds, ensuring they are upright and balanced.

              Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until the popsicles are completely solid.

                Unmold the Pops: When ready to serve, gently run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. This will help loosen the popsicles for easy removal.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Strawberry Chia Pudding Pops immediately for a deliciously refreshing treat on a warm day!
