Ingredients
Scale
Pudding
- 2 cups (480g) non-dairy milk (I used carton coconut milk)

- 1/4 (40g) cup chia seeds
- 1/2 (65g) cup raw cashews*
- 6 pitted medjool dates (100g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For layering
- Roasted pecans
- Coconut whipped cream or cocowhip
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
Instructions
- In a high speed blender, combine the pudding ingredients and blend briefly.
- Let the mixture sit and soak for 10-15 minutes to soften the chia seeds and cashews.
- Blend again on high until creamy and smooth.
- Pour into a jar and refrigerate overnight. It will thicken as it chills.
- Layer the pudding into jars with the pecans, sliced bananas, and coconut whipped cream.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*You can substitute the cashews with 1/2 cup (120g) non-dairy yogurt, but you will need to reduce the milk to 1 1/2 cups. It won’t be quite as rich.
