We always loved our ice cream, so we were in need of a sweet creamy treat to take it's place now that dairy is out for a while. We buy coconut milk ice cream on occasion, but I was looking for an everyday item that could go in the kid's lunchboxes. Enter: Chia Pudding. The texture of chia pudding is like that of tapioca pudding, so that made me nervous. I have seen recipes for this concoction before, but had never tried it. The first batch I whipped up was chocolate. Jackson tried it right away (cause it was chocolate). Don and Maddy were harder sells. I made a second batch of vanilla/cinnamon and that was the deal breaker. I won Don and Maddy over with the vanilla batch. You have got to try this. It's our sweet savior in this house.
Chia Pudding
1/4 cup of chia seeds
1 cup non-dairy milk
Combine in a blender and let sit in the fridge for an hour. It will thicken and at that time you can add your extract flavoring of choice, sweetener of choice (ours is stevia), cinnamon, fruit..whatever.
