Cashew Chia Pudding

Chia seed pudding is one of my favorite things to eat! Did you know that chia seeds are high in vitamins, minerals, omega 3, fiber, and protein? Chia seeds are excellent for digestive health & anti-aging. Check out this recipe and comment below what your favorite chia seed recipes are!

Ingredients:

•  ¾ cup soaked raw cashews (soak 4 hrs & rinse)
  
• 1 banana
• 1.5 cups of filtered water
• 1/3 cup Chia Seeds

Directions:

• Blend it. I use a Vitamix Blender
  
• Pour mixture into glass container.
• Mix in 1/3 cup of Chia Seeds.
• Place in refrigerator x 4 hrs.
• Top with your favorite berries and nuts. One of my favorite toppings is a sliced banana with maple syrup.

Servings: 4

• It’ll stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 6-7 days.

Tips:

• If you don’t have these ingredients or a blender, you can just mix a ratio of 1.5 cups of liquid (almond milk, coconut milk, or just plain water) with 1/3 cup ratio of chia seeds.
• To add in more sweetness, you can blend in 2-3 medjool dates. They are easier to blend if you pre-soak them for a couple hours in water. Or you can add in some maple syrup.

JUST EAT REAL FOOD – Stop focusing on calories & focus on what you’re eating and how it makes you feel. Your body is always giving you signals, but many times we ignore them. Pay attention if you develop nausea, gas, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, headaches, joint pain, rashes, sinus problems, or cold sores. If you develop any of these things after eating, it’s a good indicator that your body is giving you a clue to stop consuming something in your food. Many times these symptoms come from consuming chemicals, artificial coloring, and preservatives. Other times these symptoms can occur from a food allergy or sensitivity. Pay attention. Creating a food diary is a really great way to help you figure out what your triggers are. Food elimination diets are a great way to figure out what your triggers are.
