Light Summer Pudding Parfait

Vanilla Pudding Ingredients:
1 cup Young Thai coconut meat
3/4 cup coconut water or filtered water
3 Medjool dates, pitted
3 Tablespoons white chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol free) or 3 drops Medicine Flower Vanilla Extract
1 pinch sea salt


Chocolate Pudding Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon cacao powder (or carob powder)
1 Tablespoon maple syrup (grade B or your favorite sweetener)

Garnish:
Top with coconut flakes, cacao nibs, chopped nuts, etc.

Consistency: a lot of this depends upon how much meat and water are in your coconut..so use your judgment. If pudding is too thin, add more chia, or even add a handful of raw cashews and blend to blissful creaminess.
