Chia Seed Pudding

• 3/4 cup chia seeds

• 4 cups unsweetened almond or coconut milk

• 2 vanilla beans (split down the center and seeds removed) or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 6-8 tablespoons erythritol (like Swerve) or stevia to taste (pure stevia, about 1/2 teaspoon to start and add more if desired. If spoonable stevia — start with 2 teaspoons and add from there. If liquid stevia — start with 1 teaspoon and add from there)

Directions

1. Add almond/coconut milk, vanilla, and sweetener to a blender and mix well.

2. With the blender on a very low setting, add the chia seeds and mix. If you would like to add other ingredients (cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg), do it here.

3. Transfer to a container and stir every 5 minutes for the first 15 minutes then let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to the refrigerator.

4. When ready to serve, add toppings.
