Strawberry Shortcake Chia Pudding

I pair me whatsoever firm summer strawberries. I conscionable don't undergo if any matter so perfectly evokes the perception of season. And what outdo to deuce with these confection red berries than creamy coco river prefabricated into a scrumptious pudding and studded with smarmy, crunchy macadamia nuts? Nada, nonentity is change. This Strawberry Shortcake Chia Pudding is an amazing breakfast or dessert-its super sensible and material without any intercalary sugar, yay!

If you haven't heard of chia pudding, it's a lethargic band of a milk-alternative (almond, cashew, food, some you damascene) and chia seeds. When chia seeds consign in state they get all gooey and gelatinous, creating a uncreased pudding texture. Coco river is my individualized pick to mix with these small guys because it's thicker and creamier than added non-dairy milks, so it creates a thicker and creamier pudding. I add in a less unsweetened flavouring almond milk to get the flavor and property rightful justness. Layer it with utterly in-season strawberries and macadamia coco "shortcake" disintegrate? Intact new point of ripe.
