Default Chia Seed Pudding

I made my own version of this today just to see what the chia seeds were
like, it was actually pretty good. I didn't use the cashews or the agave
nectar. I used 1 1/2 cups of water which had a TBS of cream mixed in with
it, 4 packets of Nutri-Sweet, regular cinnamon, the extracts, and kosher
salt. Mixed it with the chia seeds and put in fridge for about 7 hours. Had
it tonight and it is pretty much like tapioca in consistency and taste. Not
bad.

Original Recipe

Serves: 2
Active time: 15 minutes
Inactive time: 8-9 hours

Instructions:
½ cup raw, unsalted cashews (soaked for one hour, then drained)
1 ½ cups water
2 tablespoons agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
A pinch of Himalayan pink salt
3 tablespoons chia seeds

Preparation:
1. Place cashews, water, agave nectar, vanilla extract, cinnamon extract
almond
extract and pink himalayan salt in a blender and blend on high until smooth.
(If
using a high powered blender like Vitamix, there is no need to soak the
cashews.)
2. Place chia seeds in a small bowl, pour cashew mixture over seeds and
whisk
until well incorporated.
3. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
4. Whisk before serving.
