Soak dates in water until tender, blend with water to create a date paste. Delicious natural sweetener.

I'm a teacher and I have to say that you are an excellent teacher. The way you presented the recipes, from speaking slowly and clearly, to writing out the instructions, and showing everything step by step--those are all the best teacher practices that I have been taught. This was awesome to watch, thank you!

[reip]

If you try cutting back on the sweetener little by little, you eventually may not need any more sweetener at all, the fruit will be plenty sweet for you as it is! I went nearly "cold turkey" on sugar for this past month and I have been shocked at how sweet fruit tastes to me now. I can barely stand cakes and cookies anymore; which is insane because I was eating 6 cookies per day for a while lol. And YES I went through intense sugar withdrawals. It took one and a half weeks to overcome.

I've always failed at chia pudding because I was unaware of the "5 minute rest and repeat" rule.
Thank you for that vital piece of info. Now I'm about to make chia pudding a staple in my diet again!

[loiscrandell]

I make cashew milk for my chia pudding. 1 cup raw cashews covered with water refrigerated over night. Drain next morning, dump in blender and add 4 cups water and 1-3 seeded dates. Blend on high for 2 minutes. I top the chia pudding with fresh berries. Love it.

[SorceressJade]

Frozen mango chunks are shockingly good and easy to use, when you can't get fresh or don't want to bother cutting them.

[AlexanderReevesHamilton]

This is actually a brilliant video recently been diagnosed type 2 diabetic and I'm on a huge weight loss journey and these are absolutely fantastic I love the different recipes I was in a blind spot so thank you from me❤

[minabobina]

You’ve got the best chia pudding recipe combos I’ve seen so far!! I wanna try em all!

[goforward]

I absolutely love the way you teach. I get really frustrated with long videos and a lot of unnecessary talking...Your videos are perfect! Thank you 😊 Many blessings

[LaidOutBare]

If you grind your chia, it goes further. I love these they look amazing

[brendadufaur]

The jars with the pudding in them look so pretty.

And if you use a neutral flavor sweetener instead of maple (such as agave) and the add a little real vanilla extract to the base mixture, it taste almost exactly like smooth tapioca pudding. To get an exact match on real tapioca pudding flavor, you would have to used cane sugar. But I think the idea here is to avoid that in the diet.

[BrennaDraws]

I love chia pudding. I started doing it with greek yoghurt instead of milk and it comes out so creamy. I definitely need to try out the mango and the apple one though

[marvinm]

The 6 flavors of chia pudding are excellent, and they are really good 😋❤👌🏽🫶🏽👍🏽🍮.

[mer]

I don't think I ever tried making Chia Pudding at home, but I have watched some videos, yours is the best I have watched so far. I will try attempt to make a few options and see how successful they get for my family. Thanks for posting.

[shippermd]

If you don't like the seed texture, use ground chia for a smooth recipe. You can buy it pre-ground or just grind it in a coffee grinder or blender, before using in your recipe! 🙂👍

[DollyJohanne]

Thank you for sharing! 😋

My go to are more overnight oats with chia seeds in it. I use a mix of oats, chia seeds, soy vanilla protein powder, soy milk and sweetener. I have sweeteners with different tastes, and I love caramel and maple flavor. I have berries and sometimes passion fruit on top 😋

I mostly goes for the one over here, but a cafe in my town has layers of raspberries/strawberries purée and mango or passion fruit purée, and one with chocolate pudding and peanut butter on top 😋 I have made with vegan Nutella in or on top too at home. There are so many yummy ways to eat this, and I eat one everyday 🥰😋


Thanks again!

[suzannenichols]

I've heard of chia pudding and I eat chia seeds with vanilla ice cream (believe it or not) but I never realized how easy chia pudding could be until now. You've really inspired me. Thank you.

[blessedinchrist]

I have been doing the chia pudding for 2 months now. Love it. As I write, I am doing the apple pie recipe. Smells yummy. Thanks a bunch

[candiwalker]

Excellent video! I have also failed at chia pudding because of that 5 min resting period so kudos to you for this profound info! Love it ❤
