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.
