Hempin' Around Chia Pudding
By Kristen Suzanne of KristensRaw.com
Yield 3 cups
3 cups Creamy Dreamy Hemp Milk*
4 Medjool dates, pitted (or more)
2 tablespoons lucuma powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup shredded coconut, dried and unsweetened
Blend the Creamy Dreamy Hemp Milk along with the dates, lucuma, cinnamon, and almond extract until creamy. Place the chia seeds and coconut into a bowl and add the blended hemp milk mixture. Stir thoroughly and wait a couple of minutes. Stir again and wait another couple of minutes. Stir again. At this point you can eat it or place it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve it. Hempin' Around Chia Pudding will stay fresh in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to five days.
* I made my Creamy Dreamy Hemp Milk with dates. The dates listed in this recipe are in addition to the dates already included in the hemp milk.

Hi Kristen!
As soon as I can get out of here and get my hands on some almond extract, I will try this!
Question - the hemp seeds that I bought are shelled, but there are still a handful of shells floating around the seeds. This is annoying if I try to eat them plain (crunching on the occasional shell), but is this bad for blending, meaning, if I have the shells in my milk, etc. will it hurt at all? I guess I can strain the milk, then. Do Manitoba's hemp seeds usually have a few shells left in the bag?
Thanks so much!
Jennifer
Fabulous idea! I've just started getting into hemp seeds and would love to try that milk recipe. Delish!
Mmmmmm........
Thanks for sharing your creation!
Hi Jennifer,
My husband and I eat them all the time straight out of the Manitoba Harvest bag and don't have much of a problem with shells. Every once in a while we bite into one, but it's not a toothcracker for us, ya know? We just spit it out.
Regarding blending it? I never strain hemp milk or other recipes. I just blend away when making cheese or milk or hemp butter, etc.
So, you might have better luck with Manitoba Harvest, but know that you'll still bite into one from time to time.
Thanks for commenting!

Mmmm! As soon as my raw hemp seeds get here, I will have to make this! ^_^
Thanks for the reminder I have chia seeds waiting to be made into pudding! This time of year I get a lot more into raw foods so thanks for all the good tips and ideas.
hemp AND chia? you're amazing! and i've got lucuma in stock!
Thanks, Kristen - I will try the Manitoba next time. The ones I have are from the UK and there are far too many shells! They settle at the bottom of the milk after blending, where they all gang up together and form a silt-like brown, gritty, powdery substance.
Kristen, I made your holiday chia pudding recipe recently and omg it is SOOOOOOO good. such a SIMPLE recipe, too. LOVE it! Thanks for sharing these chia recipes!

Hi Everyone,

Hi ~n~,

Cheers,

Hi darlin!
I finally made the holiday chia pudding this weekend and will post on it later! Loved it, and can't wait to try this one too.
xo
Hi Gena,
Whoo hoo! Glad you liked it. I have to admit, I love the Holiday Chia Pudding more than the Hempin' Around Chia Pudding, but it's still wonderful :) and I love the nutrition from the hemp seeds! :)
Cheers,
Kristen
I'm trying it as soon as I get home on Saturday (and bring my puppy home for good! ;). Sounds yum! I've missed you!!!!
I am such a boring raw vegan. I just eat salads and fruits... I never liked to cook when I wasn't vegan, but I think my taste buds would be happy if I gave this whole "cooking" thing a go!
Anything with coconut, I'll try :-)
Hope you're having a good week!
My oh my, what a glorious pudding recipe!! Love your homemade hempmilk recipe as well. Oh, who am I kidding - I love ALL of your recipes!! :-D
I FINALLY made the holiday pudding and loved it!!!
Yummy.
This is sooo good! Thank you for sharing ideas with two powerhouse foods for health. I get my chia seeds and hempseeds from a great source

I also added to this recipe to change the pudding the second time I made it goji berries. I felt so good after I ate it all, yum in my tum.
