We’ve made a habit of adapting the chia pudding recipe in “Tu Casa Mi Casa” to make a delicious, filling, and beautiful breakfast. My husband prepares the pudding at night; in the morning, I quickly cut up some fruit and added salted nuts or seeds, and unsweetened coconut flakes – 5 minute weekday breakfast! This version is particularly special, as it uses homemade strawberry cashewmilk. If you don’t have the desire or supplies to make your own nut miks, simply add 1 cup of fresh strawberries to 3 cups of store bought nut milk, blend them together, and pour the mixture over a strainer to remove the strawberry seeds.
Strawberry Cashew Chia Pudding (Vegan)
This recipe is easy to prep at night to enable a fast or on-the-go breakfast in the morning. We used homemade strawberry cashewmilk that my husband made, but you could easily use canned coconut milk or other non-dairy milk. Plan to prepare the pudding at night; in the morning, quickly slice some fresh fruit, add salted nuts of your choice, and unsweetened coconut flakes. You'll have a delicious and filling breakfast in less than 5 minutes. You can mix and match fruits, nuts, and seeds to mix into the pudding – the options are endless!

Notes
If you’re using store-bought non-dairy milk and want to try “strawberry milk” as the base for your pudding, simply add 1 cup of fresh strawberries to the non-dairy milk in your blender, and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture through a strainer to remove the strawberry seeds.
We used black chia seeds; white chia will work too. If you don’t have date paste and would prefer to use sugar, try coconut sugar. It looks like golden brown sugar; it’s not as moist and it has a wonderful aroma. A little goes a long way to add sweetness to a dish. Thanks to “Tu Casa Mi Casa” for the inspiration for this recipe!
