Okay…so before I do a grand reveal on the ‘Easter’ treat that I have been eating a lot of since last spring, allow me to preface this post with: don’t judge it until you eat it. Promise?
I offered to bring some of these beauties to a family get-together last year for Mother’s Day and was greeted with a very tentative and unenthusiastic, ‘Um, okay.” I made them in small little mason jars (they were super cute) and they were practically licked clean. So trust me. This is gonna be good.
Without further rambling, here’s a recipe-like thing to throw together:
1. Make chia pudding at least 2 hours ahead (or the night before) so you have some on hand when cravings strike. 1/4 of chia seeds to 1 cup of vanilla almond milk or whatever you want to use to expand the seeds. Stir or shake well in a jar and leave it in the fridge.
2. In a bowl scoop out two generous tablespoons of the previously made chia pudding, add another generous tablespoon of nut butter of choice, cranberries, chocolate chips, pecans and any fresh chopped fruit of choice (and/or chia jam if you have any on hand).
3. To make it look pretty, layer everything in a glass jar and ta-da! You have a super satisfying and filling snack sure to keep you from solely eating chocolate as a meal over the next few days.
Here’s a picture of three brands I am using at the moment that make this extra yum…
Enjoy!!!
