Check out the below link to a blogger who can give great info on these seeds... they may just be the next new buzz in health food circles... soon to leave flax seeds in their dust. Don't you want to be one of the first people to mention these exotic seeds.
So, I saw a photo of this tasty mix on line (this is my photo) but no other details other than a chia seed "tapioca" and it sent me on a search for details. I love puddings but they don't have too much nutritional value. The chia seed spin on things makes this a healthful treat and is vegan, raw, gluten & dairy free. It is easy to prepare as you do not have to fire up the stove. Don't make too much because if it sits in the fridge longer than 3 or 4 days the seeds give it an astringent flavor that is hard to get off your tongue...unless you eats loads of chocolate and swedish fish and wash it down with some red wine. Also keep in mind, like several raw food recipes, nuts are full of fat and calories, you need to be mindful of the amount you eat! - 1 cup cashew cream (1/2 cup raw cashews powdered in coffee grinder then "creamed" in a blender with water until desired consistency)
- 1/2 cup water / non dairy milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 5 T chia seeds
- 1 tsp agave, optional. you may like it less sweet. taste first you, can always add as much or little after it gels.
Put all the ingredients in a jar/container and shake it up to blend it. Let it sit at least 4 hours to "gel" and then enjoy! I like mine topped with fresh fruit.
Get creative with this. I'm sure you can make a chocolate version...coconut cream/water...orange blossom water...
