Two More Chia Recipes

By: whimsy

Here's a couple of my fave recipes using chia. For all the chia champions....

Chia Jaffa Smoothie

Preparation:

Soak a quarter of a cup of chia seeds in the juice of two oranges and leave overnight (or soak in the morning, and enjoy this for dinner)

Ingredients:

• 1 x young coconut (water and flesh)
• Chia blend (see preparation)
• 1 x scant dessertspoon cacao powder
• 1 x scant dessertspoon honey

Method:

All ingredients into the blender.

Whiz whiz.

It is as smooth as velvet, and totally scrumptious.

Strawberry Chia Sorbet

Soak 1 tablespoon of chia in the juice of one or two oranges (overnight).

Pop the soaked chia mix into a blender and add 6 large frozen strawberries (double the quantity if the strawbs are small), and add the juice of another orange.

Whizz whizz.

You end up with a strawberry chia sorbet.
