pudding - Almond Chia Pudding

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (strained if homemade)
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon natural almond extract
• pinch Celtic sea salt
• 1/4 cup + 1 TBSP chia seeds
• 1/3 cup sliced raw almonds, plus more for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Throw the almond milk, maple syrup, almond extract, and salt into your Vitamix and blast on high for a few seconds until combined.
Transfer this mixture to a glass bowl or large jar and whisk in the chia seeds until well combined. Chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours stirring occasionally to evenly distribute the chia seeds.
Once chilled, stir the mixture very well again to evenly distribute the chia seeds, and then stir in the chopped almonds. Transfer the mixture to 2 serving glasses or bowls and top with chopped almonds. A sprinkle of cinnamon is delicious as well.
