Recipe Directions
- 1. Throw everything in the blender EXCEPT THE CHIA SEEDS!
- 2. Blend in a high-speed blender 'til very very well blended. You can't really overblend this, so feel free to go nuts.
- 3. Place the chia seeds in a large bowl. Slowly pour the blender concoction over the chia seeds, and stir very well.
- 4. Stir - Probably take the bowl with you in front of the TV and stir for 10 minutes or so. The purpose of all this stirring is to help the chia seeds declump and plump up. Remember, the chia seeds are like tapioca and they will expand in size. Try not to eat too much of the pudding now. Just take a few tiny spoonfulls and that's it!! Don't eat the whole bowl in front of the TV because it gets even better once it's been refrigerated for an hour or two!
- 5. Refrigerate - Once everything is nicely stirred and there are no clumps, cover and refrigerate for an hour or two. The purpose of doing this is to let the chia seeds plump up over time. You could probably let this chia seed fruit pudding sit on the counter for the same amount of time rather than refrigerate it.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Creamy raw fruit chia puddings are yet another vice of mine. In fact, my tummy is full of one right now!
This creamy raw fruit chia pudding is my new favourite chia pudding, which is replacing my old favourite chia pudding recipe (although that one may be an oldie but it's still a goody, too!).
In case you don't know what chia seeds are, they are tiny seeds that plump up like tapioca. By the way, you cannot make this recipe without the chia seeds, so don't substitute anything for the chia seeds!
If you try this recipe please let me know what you think. To me, when I make it with raspberries or strawberries this chia pudding reminds me of melted Neapolitan (strawberry, chocolate, vanilla) ice cream.

I absolutely love this recipe, but I just don't see how I can get four servings out of it haha. I usually double the recipe and then have four perfectly sized portions to share with folk.

Hi,
Can i use almonds instead of cashews? pls :D
The Rawtarian
Mar 10, 2019
Hi Alyann!
Short answer, no! Cashews are super creamy, but almonds get very grainy so won't work well in this recipe. (Pine nuts and macadamia nuts would work instead of cashews, though).
I hope this helps!

Hi Shannon! Brazil nuts would be too gritty. :)

I love your recipes! So simple yet simply delicious. I do have a question for you about the sweeter recipes. Do you eat these on a regular basis? I have a sweet tooth and I've been doing low sugar / no sugar (including natural) to aid in weight loss. It seems that I could go overboard with all the dates, nuts, fruit and honey. Do you ever find yourself having to cut back?

Haha of course! You’ve gotta do what works for you. I definitely have some sort of dessert every day, but sometimes it’s light (fresh berries) and not always a heavy dessert. It is possible to over-do it :)

This looks great! If using frozen fruit, should I let it thaw first?
The Rawtarian
Nov 24, 2014
Nope, you can blend frozen. If you thaw, the fruit gets really runny, so if you do, make sure to drain excess water off.

Also, you reference a high-speed blender, but I don't have a Vitamix or Blendtec, just a regular blender. Will it still work?
The Rawtarian
Nov 24, 2014
Hi Kara, your blender will work, but I find if you use your blender a LOT (blending hard things like nuts, etc), it will likely burn out. A high-speed blender lasts a whole LOT longer! :)

Hi Annis!
You could omit it completely :) Or you could use 1.5 times carob powder

Can I substitute cashew for any other nut, say walnut?
The Rawtarian
Jun 10, 2014
Hi DK!
Walnut won't work well - try macadamia nuts. More info here :) https://www.therawtarian.com/rfp05-nut-substitutions

Gorgeous! I'm going to add more cocoa next time as I LOVE chocolate. Very easy to make and a hit all round.
