Tips for the best pudding
- I know that many people may not enjoy the consistency of chia seeds, but did you know that you can blend them? You could blend the seeds when they are dry or even blend the chia pudding before serving it to alter its texture. Take a look at this recipe for Chia Pudding with Cherries and Chocolate to see what I mean.
- This recipe is made with homemade cashew milk. Almond milk will do the job, too, as well as any other vegetable milk from your grocery store.
- If you make almond milk at home, you can use this chocolate chip cookie recipe to use the almond meal.
- I usually buy Nutiva chia seeds, but any brand will work fine.
