Vanilla chia pudding with strawberries and flaked almonds

A simple and not overly sweet chia pudding, inspired by Dean and Deluca’s tiny pots, which we ate for breakfast in New York years ago.

One batch makes four servings and keeps in the fridge for a couple of days. Top with any soft fruit (raspberries work well) but I usually go for strawberries, flaked almonds and extra vanilla bean paste. I've categoried this recipe under Breakfast but we often eat it for Dessert too.

Notes

To make this vegan use a milk alternative and soy or coconut yoghurt.
