Breakfast Blueberry Chia Pudding

Since chia rapidly absorbs fluid and takes on gelatinous properties when soaked, it makes an ideal nutrient-dense pudding base.

Time: 5 minutes active; 20 minutes total - makes about 1 1/2 cups (1 serving)

• 2 tbsp chia
• 3/4 c water
• 1/3 c cashews
• 2-3 fresh pitted dates, or dried pitted dates soaked in water overnight to rehydrate
• pinch of cinnamon
• pinch of sea salt
• fresh or frozen blueberries

Soak chia in water for 15 minutes. In a blender, combine with the rest of the ingredients, except the blueberries, and blend until smooth. Transfer to serving bowl and top with blueberries.
