Think back to the late 1970’s. That’s when chia seeds were first introduced to many of us. \u00a0They were the magic ingredient in the hugely popular \u2018chia pet\u2019.<\/p>\n
Take a walk down memory lane<\/a>.<\/p>\n Yep. You could have your own little teddy bear\/puppy\/kitten chia pet. It promised to grow rich, lush, green fur in 1 – 2 weeks on the kitchen window sill. The only maintenance the ‘pet’ needed was a little mow every now and then.<\/p>\n The thought of actually eating<\/em> the seeds was well\u2026unthinkable.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been on the chia seed bandwagon for a year. I love these little morsels. \u00a0 They give me the energy boost I need for my 8 am workout.<\/p>\n I normally add 3 tablespoons of chia seeds to my morning oatmeal. I recently tried something new and it\u2019s soooo good. Even \u2018husband\u2019 who is often a raw\/green\/vegan\/vegetarian food skeptic put a big stamp of approval on this one.\u00a0\u201cWhat the heck is this?\u201d<\/em> he said, \u201cit\u2019s gooooood!\u201d <\/em>It has a secret ingredient in the pudding mix – fresh spinach.<\/p>\n Enjoy the Green Chia Pudding for breakfast or as a yummy dessert.<\/p>\n It takes about 5 minutes to prepare and needs at least an hour in the fridge before serving.<\/p>\n 2 servings<\/p>\n INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n Blend<\/p><\/div>\n 3 medjool date, pit removed *note if you can\u2019t get medjool dates use 6 regular dates<\/p>\n 2 cup non-dairy milk (organic soy, almond, coconut, cashew)<\/p>\n 2 handfuls fresh spinach<\/p>\n 6 tbsp chia seeds<\/p>\n Fruit for topping (mango, berries, cherries, kiwi, banana)<\/p>\n METHOD<\/strong><\/p>\n Mix<\/p><\/div>\n You might also like this.<\/a><\/p>\n Please share the Green Chia Pudding goodness with YUMMY AGING friends who want to live healthful, glowing lives.<\/p>\n Serve<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Great Green Chia Seed Pudding will make you a believer and a chia seed convert.
