Chocolate Chia Walnut Pudding Recipe:

• Soak the walnuts in 1 cup of pure water for at least an hour
• Discard the water that the walnuts were soaking in
• In a blender, blend the soaked walnuts and 1 cup of pure water together
• Pour the blended mixture into a fine mesh strainer and use the back of a spoon to help push the liquid through the strainer (it should yield about 3/4 cup liquid) to make the walnut milk
• Put the walnut milk into a clean blender and add the coconut milk, banana and vanilla extract
• Once blended well, add the cocoa powder and blend again
• Pour the mixture into a glass jar (make sure it’s at least a 16oz jar, as you’ll have at least 1 1/2 cups of liquid)
• Add the chia seeds and mix them in thoroughly with a spoon
• Cover the jar and put in the fridge for at least an hour to chill and for the chia seeds to saturate and expand
• Add sliced bananas and/or crushed walnuts on top and enjoy!
