Chia Pudding Recipe
Jen’s chia pudding
To make the chia pudding
¾ Cup chia seeds
5 Cups almond milk (recipe & instructions below)
1 vanilla bean
3 Tbsp raw honey
2 tsp cinnamon
• In a blender, blend the almond milk, vanilla bean, honey and cinnamon on high for 10 – 15 seconds.
*Please note – If using a high powered blender you can put the whole vanilla bean in after chopping off the ends and cutting it into a few pieces. If not using a high powered blender then cut the pod in half lengthwise and scrape out the tiny seeds from inside the vanilla pod or else use a high quality liquid vanilla extract.
• Put chia seeds in a large mixing bowl, add contents from the blender and whisk well.
• Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes and whisk regularly during that time. You will be surprised how much liquid the chia seeds soak up!
• Serve as is or garnish with shredded coconut and cinnamon and your choice of fruit topping. I love banana and/or berries.
Makes 6 – 8 servings and keeps in the fridge for 5 days.
Enjoy your delicious & healthy pudding!
To make the almond milk (makes 5 cups)
1 ½ Cups raw almonds soaked in water for 6 hours or overnight
5 Cups filtered water
1 vanilla bean
• Strain the almonds, rinse well, and strain again.
• They will have now swelled to be roughly 2 ¼ cups. Place these in the blender (preferably a high powered one) and add 5 cups of filtered water.
• Blend on high just long enough to break down the almonds to make the milk. Place your Nut Milk Bag over a jug and strain the contents of the blender through the bag.
