Serves 2
- 1 ½ cups of pure water
- 2-3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup of fresh nut milk or fresh juice
- 2 tbsp of dried fruits, nuts, or fresh fruits like banana, pineapple, grapes, mango, etc…
- ¼ tsp cinnamon and honey or raw agave nectar or pure maple syrup
Directions
Mix the chia seeds with water, let it sit for 10-20 minutes ( it will get thick) add nut milk or fresh juice, dried fruits, fresh fruits, cinnamon and sweetener of your choice. Enjoy! You can also refrigerate the pudding and eat it later, if will get too thick add more nut milk or pure water. Enjoy : )
Milk Made From Nuts Or Seeds
Makes 3 Cups
- 1 cup nuts (almonds, brazilian nuts, cashews, hazelnut, walnut, hemp seeds etc…)
- 4 cups filtered water
- 4 pitted dates
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or powder I also add a little cinnamon and cardamon
- Place all ingredients into a high speed blender I use a Vitamix and blend them till totally smooth.
- Lay a double layer of cheesecloth or a nut milk bag over the mouth of a large mason jar or another large container into which you can strain the liquid. You can also use small metal-mesh strainer if you don’t have a cheesecloth, but your milk will have more pieces of the pulp.
- Pour the nut milk through the cheesecloth or nut milk bag, and into the container. You may need to work in batches. You can compost or save the nut pulp, I like to use it in my chia pudding or make raw deserts. Transfer the nut milk to an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. Enjoy : )
