This raw pudding is so much healthier than JELL-O pudding! Have you read the ingredients on the box? Ingredients: Sugar, Tapioca, Cornstarch, Modified Food Starch, Contains less than 2% of Artificial Flavor, Nonfat Milk, Soy Lecithin, Calcium Carrageenan (Thickener), Salt, Polysorbate 60 (Prevents Scorching), Mono - and Diglycerides (Prevent Foaming), Artificial Color, Yellow 5, Yellow 6.
3/4 cup chia seeds
2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
A pinch of Celtic sea salt
Stevia glycerite (to taste)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional)
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together. Let the pudding set up for a few minutes. Stir the pudding every five minutes. The pudding will be very thin at first, but after sitting for 20 minutes the chia seeds will thicken up and it resembles tapioca pudding. Makes 4 servings.

hi maria!
ReplyDeletehow many servings does this recipe make?

ReplyDeleteHi Maria,
ReplyDeleteWould this also work as a breakfast pudding or is it only a dessert?
Hi Maria, I've been making this for awhile, since I got my first container of Chia seeds. For variations I've added cocoa & sugar free chocolate syrup. I also use SoDelicious Coconut milk (unsweetened) and DaVinci's coconut syrup for a coconut cream pie pudding. And I've made a small batch as a hot breakfast cereal with sugar free maple syrup and zapped it in the microwave for a minute. I gets thick again after it cools a bit. Packed with nutrition and so yummy too.
ReplyDeleteooh, thanks so much for posting this. I was going to ask if it could be made with coconut milk. I just l♥ve coconutty stuff! That would make me so happy in the morning... or in the afternoon.
DeleteGreat idea!!! Yum!
