mom's chocolate chia pudding




This is a yummy way to get useful omega 3's from chia!! And don't worry the you get used to the weird slightly slimy texture (yumm haha want to go out and make this now?!)


Ingredients:
  • 1 ½ c. nondairy milk (I like almond the best for this recipe)
  • ½ c. chia seeds
  • 2 Tbsp. agave nectar
  • 2 tsp. cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp. ground cinnamon (plus more for sprinkling on each serving)
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp. almond extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together all ingredients.  Make sure all the chia seeds are saturated.  Using a whisk or a fork helps break up any clumps of cocoa powder that might form, since cocoa doesn’t like cold liquid very much!
Let the mixture sit uncovered at room temperature for about 20 minutes, at which point it should be thick & creamy.  Serve immediately or cover & store in the refrigerator.  If desired, sprinkle each serving with additional cinnamon & drizzle with a little extra agave and enjoy!

ok just made this for the first time and its pretty good! i put in stevia (in liquid form...3 drops) instead of agave and it was still good...BUT then I pureed it just to see what would happen. turns out its much better not pureed, even if it is a bit slimy at least it doest have little seed hulls in it!
