I had to be on a very restricted diet, for health reasons, a while back and couldn't find a receipt that fit my needs. I searched through a ton, never found something I liked, and finally just played around until I got it just the way I like it.
I wish I would have written this all out sooner so I apologize if you don't get perfect results but seriously, this stuff is amazing! In fact, I think I might make it again right now!
You will need:
1 can coconut milk
1/2 cup cocoa (you might want to add more, I usually do)
Coconut Sugar - to taste (I started with 1/4 cup. You could use any sweetener of your choice but I liked this because it 1) Fit within my diet and 2) It helped thicken)
1/4 cup chia seed (I'll be honest, I didn't measure so it could have been a bit more! Play around :)
Throw it all in your Vitamix and blend away.
I have a Vitamix so it shreds the seeds amazingly well. Some blenders wouldn't cut the seeds so you will end up with little seed crunches (which I don't like).
If you have trouble with this try putting the coconut milk in first, then the seeds, let it sit for 10 minutes and then blend.
The mixture will be runny but pore it in a bowl and it should set (as the seeds absorb the liquid).
If you google "Chai Seed Pudding" it won't look anything like this but this is how mine looks and I wouldn't go back to dairy pudding after this! No way!
I loved this..
ReplyDeleteDo you mean CHIA seeds? I made some chocolate chia seed pudding with my students last week! But without a vitamix.
