I love trying out new ingredients that I haven’t used much of before. Chia seeds are one I know of, but never really knew what to do with them, except sprinkle on a dish like sesame seeds or use them in a smoothie. Then I got an email from Carrington Farms regarding National Nutrition Month. With our busy schedule and spending so much time at the rodeo I loved seeing a healthy dessert that was super fast to make, plus didn’t make a ton for leftovers. My 4 year old loved helping make this one! He doesn’t eat a lot of desserts, so this was up his alley for not being super sweet. For all of my dairy free friends I highly recommend this recipe! You can’t beat a nutritious recipe that are easy to whip up and packed with nutritional benefits that contains fiber-filled chia seeds.
