Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk
- 0.5 cup chia seeds
- 6 pieces medjool dates, pitted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans), chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a blender, combine almond milk, pitted medjool dates, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and the dates are fully incorporated.
Transfer the blended mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add chia seeds to the bowl, and whisk thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
Before serving, stir the pudding to break up any clumps.
Gently fold in the chopped mixed nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls or jars.
Optionally, garnish with additional chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
