Instructions
In a blender, combine the strawberries, chia seeds, nectar or syrup, lemon juice, salt, and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the milk. Puree until the seeds are fully pulverized and the pudding begins to thicken. (It will thicken more as it cools). Add the extra 1 tablespoon of milk if needed to blend.
