A Chia Seed Recipe From: A Happy Food Dance
I went a little crazy at the farmer’s market this weekend and if you follow me on Instagram you know I pretty much bought most of the fruit available in California.
I can’t help it! Everything is just so ripe and juicy and bursting with flavor this time of year. It doesn’t help that you get to sample everything and it was before I had eaten breakfast. It was pretty much a disaster waiting to happen.
So don’t be surprised if the next week is full of strawberry, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries… okay, you get the idea.
I’m starting off this week with some strawberry coconut chia seed popsicles. I have loved chia seeds for a while now (remember the chia seed drink) and now I’m throwing them into a refreshing, summer-friendly popsicle that is light on calories and full on flavor.
These are super simple to whip up. Simply mix all the ingredients together, let it sit in the refrigerator until the chia seeds start to expand, and then throw them into your popsicle molds. If you don’t have popsicle molds, you could easily pour the mixture into small paper cups with a popsicle stick inserted into the middle, then simply tear off the paper cup when ready to serve.
I can see myself making up a million different flavors and combinations of these delicious treats all summer long!
