ISHA'S Raw Vegan Chia Pudding

This is FANTASTIC! It is from my dear friend Isha, who is a raw food chef. I swear, this is as simple as throwing some things in a blender, and pouring into a pan! You CAN do this!

ISHA'S Raw Vegan Chia Pudding (a bit altered by Loni, but not much!)

1) Soak 2 cups of Raw Cashews (can be overnight or just a couple of hours - 2 cups raw will yield more than 2 cups soaked, but it is nice to have extra for snacking)

2) Put 2 cups water and 1/2 cup Almonds in blender to make almond milk. Blend and pour out to strain in Nut Milk Bag

3) Put 1/2  Cup Chia Seeds in a wide shallow pan

4) in blender:

3/4 Cup Macadamia
2 Cups Cashews already soaked
1/2 Cup Agave
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
Blend and add 2 Cups of the Almond Milk you made
Add 1 or 2  very RIPE Bananas


5) Melt Coconut Butter and Coconut Oil (a bit more oil) until it is a bit more than 1/3 Cup, add this to blender
Sweeten to taste with maple syrup or agave, and a scant tablespoon of lemon juice
(I FOUND I COULD ADD THIS AT THE SAME TIME AS THE REST OF THE STUFF ABOVE AND IT WORKED FINE. THE MAIN THING IS TO BLEND AND TASTE, then add any extra sweetener if needed.)

6) Pour the mixture over the chia seeds in pan, and mix for a while to prevent sticking.  Then let rest 20 minutes. Then transfer to freeze for at least half an hour.

7) Combine 7 tablespoons cocoa powder, a tablespoon of coconut oil, a tablespoon of coconut butter / manna if you have it, and add maple syrup and agave to taste, along with a bit of vanilla extract if you like. Spread this chocolate glaze on top of chilled pudding.

8) Top with dried coconut and goji berries that you have blended into an orange colored powder
