Kickin' Cacao Chia Pudding instructions

You can leave your chia seeds whole, if you want a more "tapioca" type texture, but since this is "chocolate" pudding, I grind the chia seeds first. Sadly, I could not get them to grind at all with my granite mortar and pestle (like I do flax), so I use the flat blade of my MagicBullet. A clean electric coffee grinder or any flat blade processor could also be used..
Blend all ingredients together (I use regular blade on MB for this), then pour into small glass jars or serving bowls. I make 2-3 servings with this recipe..
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Add pecan pieces, if desired. Then enjoy the creamy, chocolatey, healthy goodness!.
"Pumpkin spice" is: 4 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp ginger, 1 tsp cloves, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp allspice, all ground (of course!).

Cacao Powder: Cacao powder is typically less processed and healthier than cocoa powder, but either works. Maple Syrup: One of my favorite all natural sweeteners. Vanilla Extract: For that sweet flavor and smooth aroma. Dairy-Free Milk: Choose your favorite one, they all work beautifully. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vanilla, agave, and cacao powder until well combined.
