- Transfer to container: Pour the mixture into a sealable container or jar to set properly.

Notes
- This pudding can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a smoother texture, blend the strawberries with the coconut milk before mixing with chia seeds.
- Feel free to substitute strawberries with other fresh fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or mango.
- If you prefer a thinner pudding, add more coconut milk to adjust consistency.
- Use unsweetened coconut milk to reduce added sugars and calories.
