Directions

1. Blend cashews and the three cups of water until nice and smooth.

2. Add everything else (except the chia seeds). Blend again.

3. Place the chia seeds in a bowl. Add the blended mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are well distributed.

Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 3 hours).

Eat in the morning or for dessert in the evening! Stir well again before eating.

This is a delicious raw chia tapioca pudding recipe. The chia seeds become gelatinous and really remind me of good old-fashioned tapioca. Mmm!

If you have trouble finding chia seeds in your local community, try requesting that your local health store bring them in. They can also be ordered online here.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

One of my favourite foods right now are chia seeds.

What is their claim to fame (besides being known for sprouting those famous "chia pets")?

1. They become gelatinous, like tapioca, which makes them fun to use!

2. They are very filling.

3. They have an interesting texture which is a nice addition to the raw food lifestyle. (Jelly-like balls!)
