Paleo Chocolate Chai Chia Seed Pudding Recipe! #tipit

Ingredients Ingredients: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy free milk) 1 chai tea bag ½ banana, ripe and cut into coins 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder ½ teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon cinnamon Pinch of Himalayan pink salt 2 tablespoons chia seeds Optional: 2-3 drops of stevia extract or 1 teaspoon organic maple syrup or honey

Instructions Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a mild simmer. Turn off heat, insert tea bag and steep for 5-6 minutes. Remove tea bag and pour milk, banana, cacao powder, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt and optional sweetener into a blender and blend on high for about 1 minute or until smooth. Next, turn blender to low and slowly pour in chia seeds. Turn blender back up to high for about 20 seconds and then pour mixture into a glass jar with a lid. Attach lid, shake well and place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours or overnight.

When ready to serve, top chia seed pudding with cacao nibs, nuts, coconut flakes or toppings of choice and enjoy!

Notes I find that using a jar not much bigger than your chia mixture and stopping back to shake the jar occasionally, yields the best results. Also, for picture purposes only, I separated my chocolate-banana mixture and poured it on top of my chia seed pudding.
