VANILLA CHIA PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine: Place ingredients in container or bowl and mix well.
• Mix twice: Mix the chia mixture after 5 minutes, then again after 5 minutes, mixing well each time. Mixing the chia seeds is important so they don't fall to the bottom of the container. If not shaken or stirred every now and then, the pudding will not set properly and the seeds will sink to the bottom.
• Keep covered in the refrigerator until set. Will be ready in 3 - 4 hours.
• Makes about 2 1/4 cups
• Spoon into individual bowls or containers, and serve with fresh fruit, granola or whatever your heart desires that sounds good!
• Store: Keep stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 - 6 days. For longer storage, keep in the freezer for up to 2 - 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator.
• Serves 4

VANILLA-CINNAMON CHIA PUDDING

VANILLA CHIA PUDDING

Steps:

• Place chia seeds and vanilla pod in a medium mixing bowl, and set aside.
• Drain cashews, and rinse well. Add cashews, filtered water, the dates, salt, cinnamon, coconut butter, vanilla extract, and vanilla seeds to a blender. Blend on high speed for 2 minutes, and pour into bowl with chia seeds and vanilla pod; whisk well. Let mixture stand for 10 to 15 minutes, whisking every few minutes to prevent chia seeds from clumping (pudding will thicken quickly). Refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.
• Discard vanilla pod. Whisk pudding. Divide pudding among 8 bowls. Top each with berries, and drizzle with maple syrup.
