[M] Cha Cha Cha Chia!♪
If you know that reference, I love you deeply.
Today I am making chocolate coconut chia seed pudding.
Turns out, chia seeds are amazing and awesome.
They, like, puff up in liquid, and they make things bind together,
so we've been using this a lot in, like, our power balls and our power bars.
Today I really feel like this is an unjustifiable recipe
because you literally put stuff in a container...
...and just shake the sh*t out of it.
Thus ends my recipe, and then you just put it in the fridge and just, like, walk away overnight.
If you wanna do this really fast, you can dump everything in a food processor, like this!
♪♪♪
But today I'm gonna show you the "Shake the shit out of it" method.
I've got one of these blender ball... containers for, like, work out and body building
You can also put it in... a jar.
"But Martina, I don't have a jar!"
Ok, do you have any container with a sealable lid on it?
"No, Martina, I don't."
Alright, do you have a plastic bag that you could just double up and--
"No, Martina, I don't."
Why do you have chia seeds?
Why do you have chia seeds in your home, if you don't even have a container to shake it in?
You're just literally gonna shake it in anything.
*completely done* Look at my ingredients in all their glory~
I'm gonna be using a coconut and soy milk mixture.
You can use just milk,
You can use just soy milk.
Also, I'm using chai spice seasoning which is, like, for chai tea but it's in seasoning format,
I don't even know!
One of you awesome people sent this to me.
If you don't have this around,
you can use cinnamon or nutmeg,
or you can like use pumpkin pie filling powder.
But I've also got my cocoa powder, I've got vanilla extract, chia seeds and honey.
You can use any other liquid sweetener.
You can do honey,
You can use agave,
You can use maple syrup.
So here's what we're gonna do.
I'm stalling because it's just so easy.
I'm gonna dump everything into this container
and shake the shit out of it.
Wait!
Not the honey.
You'll wanna save that 'til last,
because this has to get really, really, broken up.
*whispers* And that's it.
Let's start!
Soy milk is going in.
I'm doing 1 cup of low-sweetened soy milk.
For some reason there's a lot of soy milk in Korea,
And all of it is... coated in sugar.
Half a cup of coconut milk.
Make sure you use coconut milk and not coconut cream.
I tried using coconut cream before, it's just too thick and the chia seeds, I guess they can't really absorb it.
[S] That looks gross.
[M] It's not gross!
[S] That looks like mushroom soup.
[Martina] It's not mushroom soup! *wet splatting sound*
A quarter cup of cacao.
Every time I say this I wanna make a joke about rapping.
You know what joke I wanna make, Simon?
[Both] Where the F you at "Cacao"? [Limp Bizkit & Method Man song reference]
[M] Exactly. What were they trying to say at that point?
[S] TICAL. T-I-C-A-L.
And what's Tical?
[S] It's um... [M] A city, a location, a hangout, a submarine sandwich store for drug dealing.
[S] Yup. A submarine sandwich store for drug dealing.
[M] Knew it!
To continue, please, sorry. [S] What WAS Tical for? [M] See, you don't even know what Tical was!
[S] No! It's um... you know, Tical. [M] NOOO
I'm adding a quarter teaspoon of salt.
Half a teaspoon of chai powder.
This has got saigon, Indonesian cinnamon, ginger,
cardamom, black pepper, star A N U S
all-spice and bay leaves.
So that's the special mixture.
*Martina 1-0 Bottle*
Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
I MAKE MY OWN,
So I poured it into an old Hibiki bottle.
Which is quite easy to do, everyone, you should just do it when you get the chance.
And that's everything except for the chia seeds.
Now we're adding a quarter cup of chia seeds.
For those of you that have not worked with chia seeds before,
it will seem like your ratios are off but they will absorb over night.
This takes like 5 hours.
I prefer just leaving it overnight for it to actually thicken the right way.
So don't be weirded out if you're like:
"This doesn't look right, Martina."
DON'T be tempted to add more.
Ok, lid. PLEASE be secure.
*manly grunt*
That's it! Just gonna shake it.
[S] If you unbutton your shirt a little bit more we'd get a much bigger male demographic. [M] NO!
*manly yell*
I'm gonna add the honey now, bit by bit.
Oh yeah, look at that right there.
[S] Let's see.
[M] Looking real nice.
Even with the food processor you gotta do the same thing. You're just gonna slowly pour in...
Hurry up, honey, you're so boriiing.
*sighs* Forget it, it's enough.
If only there was a song with the word "Shake" in it that I could think of, but I can't...
Oh, I know. Shake it, shake-shake it, shake it, oh oh...
Was that not the "Shake It" song you were thinking off? [S] NO.
Really just need any kind of song with the word "shake" in it.
How about the Shake and Bake chicken song? [S] I was gonna say Shake and Bake.
My milkSHAKE brings all the boys to the yard. [M] Yes!
Martina hits herself in the face.
That's what happens when I cook at nighttime.
[S] Why are you holding your elbow? [M] Because I can't. It shakes my shoulder out.
All you healthy people out there can do this.
*slam* BOOM!
Here's the coolest part about making this kind of a food.
"Making dis kind of a foOoOd!"
[S] You're good at words.
[M] I AM.
You can just taste it right away. So if it tastes... too sweet or too... cacao-y or whatever...
Look at that. Nothing. 'Cause it's frickin' perfect. That's right.
You know why? Because I make this recipe a lot.
There it is right there! It's my recipe!
You see it?
[S] It's pretty good. [M] And then I said coconut flare and cacao nibs on top.
We're gonna add all that stuff later though,
Because if you put it on now, as it sits overnight it just gets soggy and disgusting
and you go to eat it and then you're like "I'm sad".
Ooh.
Oh yeah.
Is this not fancy enough for you?
That's okay, I understand.
‘Cause we're gonna put our next one in a wine glass.
Oh yeah.
Now my favorite part of not using a jar. *sarcasm*
*Martina 0-1 Cling Film*
Why do you do this to me?
Just gently... tear it... S'like so...
[S] You're good at this.
[M] And then I just find the remaining square that hasn't crumpled.
That's literally it. We're gonna pop it in the fridge
and tomorrow morning you will see me in all my GLORGEOUS makeup-free—
Did I say "glorgeous" with a "gay"? [S] Hehehe, a gay? [M] With a gay?
Glorgeous. [S] Glorious and gorgeous at the same time. [M] Glorgeous... G...
Ok... I'm just... it's too late. It’s too late, guys. It's too late to apologize.
(Wee! Magic transformation sound) And it's morning!
You guys are so lucky that you get to see me
with my crusty old makeup at midnight and no makeup in the morning.
This one in the food processor is... looking all fancy in its... gorgeous martini glass.
I just chopped up some strawberries,
put a little tiny sprig of mint
and a little bit of roasted coconut just to look kinda fancy.
But then you also have the... casual, Instagram-worthy version
where I tossed in some strawberries and some toasted coconut.
You can just kinda mix it up and take a scoop.
Now for those of you that— Oh.
Doesn't look that entirely sexy on camera.
If you've given this enough time to puff up and you followed the liquids perfectly,
it shouldn’t be crunchy like a cracker, but it should have some texture when you bite into it.
*takes a bite*
Mmhmm. Fantastic.
If you guys wanna hear the different kind of stuff that you can put on top, I put it all on my blog post.
Make sure you click on the link. As well as the actual recipe.
Let me know if you've ever tried chia seed pudding before.
You guys might have some different variations on it.
And we should definitely share each other's recipes in the blog post.
Happy Cooking? Do you call this cooking?
I don't know what I should call this.
I'm gonna go... watch TV and put on some coffee. (put on some coffee? WHUUUT?) ((I think she mixed up 'put the kettle on' with 'make some coffee')
[S] You're a bum!
[M] YOU'RE a bum! You didn't do any-- You're just a bummy as me. I'm showing the world!
[S] You can't. You can't turn it. I'm too strong. [M] I’m showing the world.
[S] *possibly Russian accent* Hello. [M] You look ok, I look worse. *laughs*
