Instructions

Place chia seeds in a medium size mixing bowl and set aside.
Prepare cashew milk as follows: Place cashews in an upright blender, adding 4 cups of water, the dates and/or maple syrup and the vanilla extract.
Blend on high speed for 4 minutes
Pour liquid into the bowl with the chia seeds, whisk well.
Let mixture sit for 10 to 15 minutes, whisking every few minutes to prevent chia seeds from clumping, pudding will thicken fast. If making a chocolate version, still your cocoa powder in once the pudding starts to firm up a bit.
Place in the fridge and chill for 1 hour.
Remove from fridge, whisk, and serve chilled topped with berries and a drizzle of raw honey or maple syrup if you'd like. If the pudding is thicker than you like it, thin with a little extra cashew milk.
