Ingredients

  • 2 2/3 cups coconut milk (or other milk or milk sub)
  • 2 cups berries (fresh or frozen - strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are all great choices)
  • 10 tablespoons chia seeds (see above notes about grinding ahead of time)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 9-10 scoops stevia extract powder (approximately 5/16 teaspoon [just a tad over 1/4 teaspoon]; or to taste)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put all ingredients in a high-powered blender (like the Vitamix) and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour into a container (I prefer glass or stainless) and refrigerate until cold.  You can, of course, eat it as is, but the flavor is much better chilled.
  3. Optional:  Add toppings.  We like our topped with fruit, organic rice bran, or toasted unsweetened coconut.  My sons even topped it with crumbled up macaroons.  Yummy!

Notes

  • For the berries, you can use blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, you name it--be creative! If using strawberries, slice or chop before measuring. A blueberry/cranberry mix works great too. We even used cranberries alone, for a totally anti-candida diet-friendly recipe. I just added a tad more stevia and the result was GREAT.  You can also make a blended version by adding the chia seeds to the processor or blender before processing or grinding them before adding. A Vitamix works great for making the blended version of this pudding. Super fast and so smooth! Homemade Coconut Milk or this Homemade Almond Milk are a great frugal options for this recipe. For tips on using stevia, see How to Use Stevia. Here is a great brand of stevia scoops. If you prefer, of course you may substitute other sweeteners for stevia as well, according to your needs.  Depending on how sweet you like your foods and which sweetener you choose, you will need 1/2 cup to 1 cup of sweetener.
