The Versatile Chia Seed

From the bottom, this breakfast jar is:
Pomegranate and raspberry with almond milk.
Key lime and coconut
Mango.
It's finished with fresh fruits, coconut and freeze dried mango.
Totally vegan, totally gluten free, totally food for you AND totally delicious 😊
If you remember, I mentioned that my change to a more holistic, healthy diet, resulted in quite a significant weight loss.
I have a confession... I have an absolutely wicked sweet tooth and so, making substitutions for all those sweet treats I loved became a bit of a mission.
Along the way, I discovered the Chia seed. This amazing little seed absorbs liquid and swells to make a gelatinous dessert, a lot like sago.
Chia seed is high in protein, fibre and other nutrients, unlike sago, whichever is mainly just empty starch. As my mission is to eat foods that offer optimum nutrition, the Chia seed makes the perfect substitute. You can create delicious breakfast jars, smoothie bowls and desserts, like the one in the photo.
In my next post, I'll share my recipe with you. Let you know the best ways to make use of this amazing little seed.
Until next time, have a wonderful day,
