Healthy Eating Shock
I normally try to eat healthy. It has been feeling good lately to save all my veggie matter to take to the community garden, then it dawned on me to use some of it in my own yard around veggies I'm trying to grow. Makes great compost.Well this morning after running around doing my chores I stopped at a First Watch restaurant (noted for healthy menus) Bear in mind healthy does not mean low calorie so I have to watch that. I ordered a chia power bowl. I did not know that there was something called Chia Pudding made from chia seeds but that is what I had mixed with granola and fruit. Oh my goodness it was to die for. I came home to immediately google Chia Pudding Recipes and you can just blow me out of the water. Chia, coconut milk, vanilla, honey, soak overnight and in the morning you have Chia pudding. Many other recipes but I got so damn wet I had to come here and shout it out.
Eating Chia and flax seeds I've done for years but I didn't know Chia seeds swelled up sort of like tapioca. OMG I love it. My brother gave up sweets almost a year ago for diabetes, I will make this for him and use stevia instead of honey and he will be able to indulge without guilt or sugar. I'm so happy
And folks being happy is where it is at, I tell you.
Of course watch me make this recipe and it bombs, ha ha.

Sounds interesting.
Caution breathing may be harmful to our health.
I thank you for the suggestion of the community garden which is very popular in the entire US now.
Health is wealth and yes our life is more meaningful with a healthy diet.
Yet obesity is very high in our country. Go figure.
Imp - if you Google Chia pudding recipes it is mind blowing how easy it is. I can't believe I never heard of it before. The side served at First Watch was a piece of Artisan Toast with Almond Butter, what a great compliment, however I'm guessing calorie laden. Oh and the Seeds are good in smoothies too if you ever do that or they are DELISH and salads. You bake tarts or breads - probably good in that.
Chat I buy whole Flax Seeds the grind them a tad before I use them.
Bear do you remember any of the possible side effects of the Chia Seed?
I doubt there is one food you could Google that doesn't have some potential side effect.
I'm just so shocked after years of eating my chia's I'm just now learning about this delicious pudding and way to easy to make.
I can't wait to plant my own garden comes spring. Meantime, I am going to all the farmer's market and buy my organic supplies.
I am very picky with my vegetables. I buy a lot in summer and then freeze them for winter and it is still better than buying the non organic from the store.
But whatever suits you.
It wasn't my intention to run you off.
