Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 4 pieces medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for extra thickness)
- 1 piece sliced bananas (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut or crushed nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse them before using.
In a high-speed blender, combine the ripe bananas, soaked cashews, pitted medjool dates, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Blend on high until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
If you prefer a thicker pudding, add the chia seeds and blend again until well mixed. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the pudding.
Taste the pudding and adjust sweetness if needed by adding another date or a drizzle of maple syrup, although the bananas and dates should be naturally sweet enough.
Distribute the pudding evenly into serving bowls or glasses.
Garnish with sliced bananas, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts if desired.
Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours for the best texture, or serve immediately if you prefer.
