Vanilla Almond Chia Pudding https://sheronbrown.com/vanilla-almond-chia-pudding/ https://sheronbrown.com/vanilla-almond-chia-pudding/#respond Thu, 02 Aug 2018 19:47:35 +0000 http://sheronbrown.com/?p=1668

Prep Time

8 minutes

Prep Notes

Consider this for breakfast or a snack instead of ice cream.

Cooking Time

N/A

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups nut milk of choice
  • 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup or raw honey (optional)
  • 2-3 dates
  • 1 banana or 1 avocado
  • 1 small thumb of ginger, peeled and finely chopped or grated
  • pinch of sea or Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon scraped vanilla bean

Optional Add Ins:

  • 1 serving of protein powder of choice or green powder
  • 1/2 cup of coconut milk yogurt (optional – can be blended in or used as a topping)

 Optional Toppings:

  • Approximately 1-2 tablespoons of each

Directions

Chia Pudding

The classic way:

  1. Washing and soaking the chia in a liquid
  2. Allow the chia to gel for 30 minutes to a couple hours

For thick pudding consistency:

  1. Blending the chia while dry
  2. Add the liquid component
  3. Blending again till creamy

Additions

  1. Blend all other ingredients together before adding chia seeds and allow to sit for at least an hour
  2. Slice, chop and arrange seasonal toppings of choice. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Both ways are delicious, and in fact your body will absorb more of the chia nutrients when it is broken down. The choice is yours.
  2. Chia pudding can easily be prepared ahead of time or even the night before, so you can prep and go!

Apple Zing https://sheronbrown.com/apple-zing/ https://sheronbrown.com/apple-zing/#respond Sat, 16 Jun 2018 11:11:44 +0000 http://sheronbrown.com/?p=1791 Prep Time

10 minutes

Prep Notes

Depending on the type of juicer you have, you may not have to cut which makes the time go faster. Here is an updated version of the juicer I own. Also, it’s nice and cold if you keep your items in the refrigerator before juicing.

Cooking Time

N/A

Yields

5 servings

Ingredients

4 red delicious apples
3 stalks of celery
1 cucumber
1 spring of fresh mint
Ginger about the size of your thumb

 

Directions

Run all of the items through your juicer. Pretty simple! I typically like to put the mint under something heavier like a cucumber. It seems like I get more out of the mint. Same with the ginger. After you juice, then enjoy!

Notes

If you aren’t a celery fan, then take it down to 2 stalks, but try to get it in though because celery heals your gut, strengthens your bones and reduces inflammation. Overall, this is a great cleansing drink that is refreshing on a nice hot summer day.

After you try it, let me know what you think!
