How do I make the homemade 'milk' for this pudding?

To make the 'milk,' simply place your chosen nut butter, water, pitted Medjool dates, optional turmeric powder, and a pinch of black pepper into a blender and blend until completely smooth.

How long does the chia pudding need to thicken?

Can I use a different nut butter for the homemade 'milk'?

Yes, the recipe suggests various options for the homemade 'milk' base, including Brazil nut butter, almond butter, hazelnut butter, cashew butter, or even pumpkin seed butter.

Why are turmeric and black pepper included in the 'milk'?

Turmeric powder is an optional ingredient added for its anti-inflammatory benefits, and a pinch of black pepper is included to help enhance the absorption of the turmeric.

How to Prepare Cherry Peanut Chia Pudding With Homemade ‘Milk’ [Vegan]

For the milk:

Place all ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. If you have a high-speed blender, use it!

For the pudding:

Place milk in a bowl, and whisk in the chia seeds. Allow this mixture to thicken, preferably overnight, but you can also enjoy after an hour. The chia seeds will soak up the milk and the pudding will form.
