I've made both of these are they are excellent. The first one is the best I've tasted yet. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! I demoed the second one a couple months ago at our Raw Food Meetup & Potluck and everyone loved it too ~
Banana Chia Pudding - by loveraw
1 cup of coconut milk (process 1 cup shredded coconut with 2 cups of water, press through a nut milk bag).
1 banana
4 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp virgin coconut oil, hard but soft enough to scoop up with a spoon.
1 tbsp agave nectar or the sweetener of your choice
1/4 tsp real vanilla
1/2 tsp mesquite (Deb - optional)
Make the coconut milk and in a food processor, blend it with the rest of the ingredients until smooth. Let the pudding rest in the fridge over night to fully swell!
Deb's note - I would make this all in the blender and then stir in the chia seeds by hand. Can add soaked raisins by hand as well. Can add sliced bananas.

Gia's Chia Pudding (with Deb's tweaks)
In high speed blender combine
1 c cashews (soaked overnight)
2 T vanilla extract
1 T almond extract
4 chopped dates (or 10 smaller dates) soaked, reserve water
dash of salt
2 1/2c. water (can use soak water from raisins below)
Blend and pour into a bowl. Add:
1/2 cup dry chia seeds
When pudding is thickened in about an hour - stir in:
1/2 cup raisins (soak, reserve water for above)
Keeps for 3-4 days in the fridge. Can add a little cinnamon, can use coconut water, add a banana - lots of variations.
