Chia Pudding (vegan)

[squirrel]

This is a nice little recipe I have adapted from Swell Vegan that incorporates chia seeds.  The seeds swell to set the pudding.  It is reminiscent of tapioca pudding.

Name of Recipe: Chia Pudding
Number of People: 1-2
Ingredients:
1/4 cup whole Chia Seeds
1 cup almond milk (or non-dairy milk).  I use Jo's almond & rice milk from quirky cooking
1 banana (frozen is nice)
2-3 dates (if milk is unsweetened)
few dashes of cinnamon
pinch of celtic sea salt



Preparation:

Blend the frozen banana, almond milk,dates, cinnamon & celtic sea salt for 20 secs on speed 9.
Add the chia seeds and gently blend on   speed 3 for 10 secs.

Pour into ramekins or bowl and leave to set in refridgerator for at least 20 mins.  The pudding will set.  Leave the chia pudding overnight for an even more solid setting.

LauraTO - Very simple but really great recipe! I didn't plan ahead so used a fresh banana instead for frozen, and my sea salt wasn't Celtic (gasp!) but it still turned out really well. Loved the interesting texture of the seeds.
