More Ways to Use Fresh Blueberries
Well, yesterday I sadly finished my portion of our fresh picked blueberries (good thing Dan still has some left to share!). Below are a couple more recipes I tried out using these amazing blueberries.
Back to my new chia obsession...This breakfast is super easy to make, just be sure to plan in time to allow the chia seeds to soak if you don't soak them overnight. Since I haven't been waking up at 5:30 AM for work lately, I haven't had my breakfasts planned out and pre-packed ahead of time for the last couple weeks. This has been nice because I get to cook breakfast fresh every morning, but in the case of this chia cereal I never think to begin making it the night before!
Yield: 1 serving
1/2 cup lite coconut milk
1/4 cup coconut water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
1/4 cup blueberries
1/2 banana, diced
2 Tablespoons raw sunflower seeds (or other seed/nut of choice)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1) Mix together the coconut milk, coconut water, lemon juice, and chia seeds in a medium-sized bowl. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 30-45 minutes (during this time the chia seeds will turn gel-like and give the dish more of a pudding texture).
2) After the chia seeds have been given time to gel up, remove the bowl from the fridge and mix in the remaining ingredients.
3) Enjoy!
Yield: Slightly < 1/4 cup
