Banana Chia Seed Pudding


It is such a challenge for me to find raw recipes that I really like but I REALLY LIKE this simple recipe. 
It reminds me of Tapioca.  I have recently learned that Chia seeds contain all nine essential amino acids, 3 times more iron than spinach and 5 times more calcium than milk. Because they are high in fiber they help with digestive repair.  They are a tiny seed with a big punch full of energy.  Try this recipe for breakfast, snack, or my favorite...for dessert.  Yum yum yum!

Banana Chia Seed Pudding

makes 1 serving
1 banana
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup water
1/2 Tablespoon local raw honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash of cinnamon
Combine the banana, chia seeds, water, sweetener, vanilla, and cinnamon in your blender or food processor (I use my bullet). Process until mixed. Pour the pudding into a bowl and allow to sit for 30 minutes. The chia seeds will absorb the water and thicken the pudding. You can garnish with your favorite fruit.  I love blueberries on mine.
