Step-by-Step Culinary Timeline
1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together chia seeds, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Refrigerate for at least 5 minutes to allow chia seeds to gel.
2. After 5 minutes, stir in chopped fresh strawberries and sliced ripe banana.
3. Serve chilled, garnished with additional fresh strawberries and a drizzle of honey, if desired.
4. For an air fryer option, bake chia pudding at 300°F (150°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
5. To boost protein, replace Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup cottage cheese for an additional 15g protein.
Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
