Receta Berry Chia Seed Puree
Chia Seeds are high in fiber--A 1oz. serving of chia has 11 grams of dietary fiber and are a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids. However, most people are unsure of how to cook with them, so they tend to add them to yogurt or oatmeal. This is okay, but they can get a little chewy and gelatinous that way unless you mill them beforehand.
This recipe maximizes the health benefits of the chia seeds in a flavorful way that can be served over oatmeal or spread on toast or muffins like a jam. Get your breakfast started with a healthy & tasty addition!
