Cashew Chia Pudding Bowl
Description
This recipe begins by soaking chia seeds in water until they form a gel, which creates a thick base for the pudding. Cashews and dates are blended along with cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and half of the chia gel to achieve a creamy, rich mixture. Stirring in the remaining chia gel gives it a balanced pudding consistency. The result is a mildly sweet, nutty dish with subtle cinnamon aroma and a pleasant texture from the chia seeds. Fresh fruit or granola toppings complement the pudding by adding freshness and texture contrast. It can be served right away or chilled for later use.

- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1½ cups water

Optional Toppings

- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or ground cinnamon

Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and water; set aside until the mixture forms a gel, about 20 minutes.
- Combine the cashews, dates, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and half of the chia gel in a high-speed blender. Puree until smooth. Transfer the pureed mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the remaining chia gel.
