creamy vanilla almond butter chia pudding

Step 1: Place the cashews and dates in a bowl and cover with boiling water to soften. Place the 2 cups of water and chia seeds in the blender, stir to combine and let sit to form a gel before blending. Let both mixtures sit for 5-10 minutes.

Step 2: Meanwhile, place a tablespoon or so of almond butter in the bottom of 5-6 small jars or serving dishes.

Step 3: Pour off the water from the cashews/dates and add to the blender with the chia seed mixture. Add the remaining ingredients and blend on high until completely smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4: Pour the chia pudding into the serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Serve topped with fresh berries just before serving. Pudding will keep for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
