Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Easy, tasty, and healthy, this chocolate chia seed pudding is made rich and creamy with a blended base of homemade cashew milk, banana, and cocoa powder! Once you’ve tried it, there’s no going back!

Special Ingredients:

• Spotty Bananas – you can just use whatever you’ve got, but the dark spotty ‘ugly’ ones are wayyy sweeter and add that perfect no-sugar sweet taste!
• Raw cashews – blending these with the other ingredients makes a super creamy rich homemade nut milk, but you can definitely sub soaked almonds or other non-dairy milks in place of the water/cashew combination!

How to make chia pudding:

Start by adding raw cashews, water, cocoa powder, banana, vanilla extract, and agave syrup to your blender (Photo #1). Blend until completely smooth!

(Essentially what you just did is make super rich, delicious, and healthy chocolate banana milk to use to make the best chia pudding ever!)

Pour the milk-mixture into an appropriate sized bowl that covers easily for refrigeration (Photo #2). Sprinkle chia seeds over the surface of the mixture (Photo #3). Use a whisk to mix everything together, to avoid chia seed clumps (Photo #4).

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight and enjoy!
