Equipment

  • 1 High Speed Blender

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 13.5 floz can of unsweetened coconut milk (full fat)
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 4 to 6 regular dates (or 1 to 2 large medjool dates) or 2 to 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 to 2 tbsp fermented coconut milk (optional for added probiotics)
  • a tiny pinch Himalayan pink salt or sea salt (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Into a high-speed blender, add your coconut milk, water, dates and vanilla and blend on high speed for 1 minute, or until the dates have broken down and combined completely with the milk and water. If opting to use maple syrup, omit blending and move to the next step.
  • Add in your chia seeds, and blend on low for 30 seconds and then on high for 2 minutes. There's no need to scrape the sides between speeds.
  • After it's blended into a smooth and silky pudding texture, taste it for sweetness. If wanting it a bit sweeter, stir in a small amount of maple syrup, 1 tsp at a time.
  • After blending, the pudding will be a bit warm. If wanting to add in coconut water kefir for a probiotic boost, wait until it has cooled before stirring it in.
  • Transfer to a glass storage container or portion out into separate smaller containers or jars. Cover and store for up to 6 days in the fridge.
    Enjoy slightly warm, or allow to cool and firm up slightly in the fridge for an hour before digging in. Enjoy it on its own, or add your favourite toppings like fruit, berries, granola, nuts, seeds or cacao nibs! Enjoy!
