Yummy Vegan Chia Nog Pudding




I am extending the Christmas season a tad so that we can enjoy some more of that nog flavour that we were just getting into!

This chia not pudding recipe is:

  • vegan (no eggs, no dairy). I am a vegan who considers raw honey as just nectar passed through a bee... some call us bee-gans.  Sub for the honey in the recipe with maple syrup or 4 dates.
  • gluten-free (no gluten proteins)
  • full of chia protein, which is the form that chia carbs take!
  • full of chia's pretty balanced omega fatty acids (good for the brain)
  • very tasty in that recognizable noggy way
  • sweet, but not cloyingly sweet like the commercial nog
  • can be eaten all year long or just saved up as a Christmas tradition

INGREDIENTS FOR CHIA NOG PUDDING

  • 14 oz/414 ml   full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons  raw honey or maple syrup or 4 soft pitted dates
  • 1 teaspoon       ground cinnamon
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons      vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons   chia seed (or 10 tablespoons chia gel*)
(Makes 2 large puddings or 3-4 smaller servings)

METHOD:

  1. If using chia gel, about an hour in advance, stir about 2 cups of water into 1/2 cup of chia seeds in a mason jar.  Stir well to keep seeds from sticking and then put into the fridge.
  2. If using four dates to sweeten, combine the following in a blender: coconut milk, dates, vanilla, spices.  Process until well-mixed.
  3. If using raw honey or maple syrup, combine the coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla and spices and stir in a heavy-bottom saucepan over low heat to bring all elements together. (Do the same with the blender mix using dates).  When heated (but not boiling), remove from the heat and stir in the chia seed or chia seed gel until smooth throughout, and spoon into a serving bowl or individual cups.  Refrigerate for about 2 hours for a perfect blend of ingredients and the best nog experience of the season!
  4. Eat when set!  Use your favourite Christmas garnishes-- picture shows a garnish of dried cranberries.  Puffy coconut whip would be a dream.  Raisins would go well with the nutmeg-cinnamon spiciness.

Spunky Monkey DIY Vegan Chocolate-Chia Ice Cream

Vegan, plant-based, and 100% delicious! This creamy homemade ice cream will win over everyone— no politics, just pure joy. Vegan and Delicious: Everyone Will Love This! Sometimes the word "vegan" evokes strong feelings like anxiety (as in "Please don't take away my meat") and/or hostility (as in "What a bunch of commie flakes all vegans are"). There are probably good reasons for both of these passionate emotions because we frequently come across strident, fear-mongering diatribes online blasting us from the ivory towers of the most raging animal-freedom activist or the highly evangelistic plant-based health advocate. "Plant-based" is an alternate description for a lifestyle choice to eat from the array of fruit, greens, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Using the term "plant-based" instead of "vegan" may be less intimidating. It even sounds like, although the diet has a plant-based foundation, it possibly includes meat and eggs...

G7 2025: Why It Matters

  57th G7 Summit- Wikipedia commons. What is the G7? 🤝 The Group of Seven (G7) is a forum of seven wealthy, democratic nations: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, along with the European Union . It started in 1975 as the G6 to coordinate responses to global economic shocks like inflation and oil shortages. Canada joined in 1976 to form the G7(1). Russia was briefly part of the group (making it the G8), but was expelled in 2014 after invading Crimea (2). How Does It Work? The G7 is informal — there’s no permanent office, headquarters, or constitution . One country hosts the summit each year and sets the agenda. Leadership rotates annually among the member countries in a fixed order (3). The summit itself is usually a 3-day event where world leaders meet in private for discussions, photo ops, and joint statements (although this year’s format is changing — more on that later). What’s the Point? The G7’s original mission was to tackl...
