OVERNIGHT CHIA SEEDS & RICE PUDDING (VEGAN /GLUTEN FREE)

1.5 cups unsweetened cashew milk
1.5 cups cooked basmati
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

0.5 cup of coconut sugar, or raw brown sugar
0.5 cup whole chia seeds
Fresh raspberries, mango & toasted coconut for garnish 

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add the remaining ingredients, and transfer to a large container with a lid. Allow to cool at room temperature (stirring 2-3 times) to break up the chia seeds and prevent clumping. Once cool, cover and refrigerate overnight. To serve, stir the chilled pudding and top with fresh berries, diced mangos and toasted coconut.
