For the Creamy Vanilla Chia Pudding
In a medium-sized airtight container, whisk together the yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and sea salt. Add the chia seeds and whisk until they're evenly dispersed throughout the liquid. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to thicken.
Thoroughly whisk after refrigerating to redistribute the chia seeds. If the mixture is too thick, whisk in more plant-based milk, 1 tablespoon at a time to thin; if it's too thin, whisk in more chia seeds, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thicken.
For the Raw Cinnamon-Almond Granola Crumbles
Add the almonds, oats, dates, cinnamon, vanilla, and sea salt to a food processor. Pulse 10 times and then process for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it begins to clump together in a crumbly, slightly-sticky mixture forms. At first it will seem like it doesn't have enough moisture to clump together, but just keep processing. The longr you process, the warmer and stickier the dates will become. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
