Cinnamon and Fruit Chia Pudding
I was always a big fan of tapioca pudding. Loved the texture, the taste, the richness. I still love contrasts. And this pudding is full of them. I wanted an extra rich pudding so I used cashew cream instead of milk. Topped off with fruit and a dash of cinnamon, it hits the spot! Experiment with different fruit, I know I will be!
Chia is packed with nutrients. To read more about the amazing health benefits of chia click here: Chia

Wow, that looks great as well! I make something similar and but use dates or hunza raisin to sweeten.

I bought a bag of chia seeds this month and have been waiting to find an appealing recipe. I have never had them before. I will try your recipe!
Thanks so much.

Elizabeth: You will have to give this recipe a spin. The cashew cream makes all the difference.

This one is so good I make it all the time. I put raw cacao powder in there once and OMG that was it I was addicted! I feel like I put chia seeds in everything now!
My kids love it too 🙂
