  • 4 tsp date syrup or sweetner of choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup pistachios chopped
  • 1 8 oz container blackberries or fruit of choice
  • 12 oz mango puree

Instructions

Prepare the Chia Pudding

  • Combine all ingredients listed in a large mixing bowl
  • Whisk together incorporating the plant based milk
  • Wait 10 minutes and mix again
  • Meanwhile you can toast and chop your pistachios for topping.
  • Once chia pudding forms a gelatinous consistency, you are ready to distribute into cups.

Chia pudding cups

  • Divide chia pudding into 4 equal cups (you could also use mason jars if storing in the fridge)
  • Add a layer of mango puree (about 2-3 tbsp)
  • Add toasted pistachios and blackberries
  • Store in the fridge until you are ready to serve

Notes

  • If storing overnight, you may add the toppings shortly before you are able to serve
  • If making just a single serving cup, you may use 2 tbsp chia seeds and 1/2 cup soy milk, a pinch of cardamom and 2 -3 strands of saffron.
