Vanilla chia seed pudding

This is a delicious pudding, although it admittedly looks a little gross, hence no photo. But it's a great way to eat chia seeds and makes an excellent snack/breakfast/dessert!

Vanilla Chia Tapioca Pudding
7 cups milk (brazil nut, hemp seed, or cashew)--I didn't have any of these, so I used almond milk. I also used 6 cups because my blender is not 7-cup capacity!
2 T. vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean
2 T. cinnamon
1/3 c. agave nectar (you could use much less)
Pinch of sea salt
1 cup chia seeds

Blend all the ingredients (minus the chia seeds) in a high-speed blender and pulse. Place the chia seeds in a large bowl, pour the mixture over them, and begin to whisk. Keep whisking periodically to be sure the tapioca does not clump. It takes about an hour and a half for the tapioca to set. You can adjust the sweetness.

(From the Crazy Sexy cleanse book. I'm a little embarrassed to admit this...but the book does have some excellent recipes.)
