Yield 2 Cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Homemade Almond Milk (or Tigernut Milk)
  • ½ cup Coconut Cream (without added gums or thickeners)
  • 3 tablespoon Chia Seeds (Organic)
  • 1 teaspoon Blue Spirulina Powder (or Blue Matcha Powder)
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup

Instructions
 

  • Combine the blue spirulina powder and coconut cream in a medium mixing bowl. Mix until there are little to no clumps and the coconut cream turns blue.
  • Next, mix in the Homemade Almond Milk (or Tigernut Milk for a nut-free version), 100% pure maple syrup and pure vanilla extract. Then, stir in the chia seeds. Keep mixing until the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  • At this stage, your Pudding will be quite runny, and the chia seeds may fall toward the bottom. Continue to stir lightly as you pour the mixture into a sealable container. If you are separating the pudding into individual portions before thickening, make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed amongst each container.
  • Cover tightly and place your pudding in the fridge to rest undisturbed for six to eight hours. This allows the chia seeds to release their mucilage, naturally thickening the pudding. If you're in a rush, it may be thick enough to serve by four hours. However, I've always had the best results when allowing it to rest for at least six.
  • Once your Chia Pudding has thickened overnight, it's ready to serve! You can enjoy it as is or garnish it with berries, bananas, dried fruits, cacao nibs, cashew cream or yogurt.

Notes

  1. For best results, let the pudding set in one bowl. 
  2. Pastured cow's or goat's milk can be used for a dairy-rich version. Simply use 1 cup of whole milk and omit both the coconut cream and almond milk.
  3. Make it nut-free by swapping out the almond milk with Homemade Tigernut Milk.
  4. Use 1 teaspoon of blue matcha as a substitute for the blue spirulina.
