Prepare strawberry ricotta chia breakfast jar with the measured ingredients below. Ricotta cheese (part skim), strawberries (raw) and chia seeds (dried) in a chilled chia pudding. Measured ingredients, two servings and visible nutrition estimates.
This pudding recipe brings ricotta cheese (part skim), strawberries (raw) and chia seeds (dried) together as a chilled chia pudding. The ingredient list describes the full batch; each serving is one half. Read the preparation labels before weighing so a cooked grain, drained fish or raw vegetable matches its source.
Allow 120 minutes for chilling or resting as well as the active preparation time. The separate protein, carbohydrate and fat counts are estimates, not a claim that this dish exactly meets a traditional Zone target.

Make it step by step
- First, weigh every listed ingredient for the full two-serving batch in its exact starting preparation. Cooked grains, beans, vegetables, meat and fish are already cooked or drained as named; their initial cooking time is not included here.
- Next, wash and trim strawberries (raw) before weighing the edible amount. Keep all weighed edible flesh in the recipe.
- Then, blend all measured milk (2%, vitamins a and d added), ricotta cheese (part skim) and strawberries (raw) until smooth, stopping the motor before scraping down the sides.
- After that, stir chia seeds (dried) into the moist blended base. Stir twice during the first ten minutes to separate clumps; do not add the same seed amount again as a topping.
- Next, cover and refrigerate for 120 minutes before dividing; this rest is included in the stated total time.
- Finally, divide the complete batch equally into two servings by weight, including all measured toppings, sauce and oil. Serve promptly or follow the linked food-handling guidance for cooling, storage and reheating. Times are editorial estimates, not a record of physical kitchen testing.

Original added-fat equivalent (÷1.5): 8.71. This is a separate convention, not an extra fat allowance.
However, separate block counts do not mean this recipe is an exactly balanced Zone meal. The table shows total carbohydrate as well as carbohydrate minus fiber. In addition, we scale nutrients from USDA reference entries and sum them before rounding. These are estimates, not a laboratory analysis.
Source and preparation notes
Source-calculated starting-ingredient estimate, not laboratory analysis or physical kitchen testing. Cooked foods are weighed after cooking as named; raw vegetables, fruit and egg are weighed in their listed starting state. Cooking may change water and nutrient retention; no finished per100g concentration or cooking yield is claimed. Keep all measured oil/sauce with the batch. Total time includes stated chill/rest time, but excludes initial cooking of ingredients already named cooked. Product labels and substitutions require recalculation.
