CHIA PUDDING with BLACKBERRIES

Living without desserts is very difficult for me. However, I have already noticed how better I feel when not eating sweet things. At the same time, it does not stop me from dreaming about cakes, pancakes with maple syrup and blueberries etc.

Nowadays that is my version of dessert.



CHIA PUDDING with BLACKBERRIES


INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 TBS chia seeds
  • 1 cup GMO free soy milk
  • handful of blackberries


METHOD:

Pour soy milk into medium glass jar, add chia seeds and stir. After 10 minutes stir again, as well as after next 10 mins. Place the lid and refrigerate overnight.  

Transfer to nice glass serving dish. Wash blackberries and add them to chia mixture.

Enjoy!

LEMON CHIA & BLACKBERRY CHIA MUFFINS

These muffins are grain flours free and with no sugar. When making these small treats, I would suggest to add some maple syrup, honey or agave nectar... but I am eating sugar free now so I will do that another time.

I made two versions of those. First one with lemon zest, the second one with blackberries.
