Cashew Milk for Orange Vanilla Chia Pudding
This recipe gives you enough for the pudding and a little extra to thin it out if you find it to be too thick.
- ½ cup raw cashews soaked for 4 hours or overnight in refrigerator
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Measure chia seeds into a medium size bowl.
- In a small bowl combine the milk, orange zest, vanilla extract, maple syrup and turmeric. Taste add more sweetener if desired.
- Pour onto the chia seeds and mix thoroughly.
- Let the mixture rest for about 15 minutes, then whisk the mixture again to break up any clumps. Give it a stir 2 or 3 more times over the next hour to break up any clumps of chia.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1-2 hours (or overnight), until the chia seeds have absorbed enough moisture to achieve a pudding-like state. While it’s thickening make your orange sections (see instructions above).
- Before serving, stir once again. Add additional cashew milk if you want it to be thinner.
- Serve topped with orange sections and any additional toppings you desire. This pudding will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 5 days.
