The story behind this recipe
Chia seeds were an important food source for the Aztecs and Mayans; "chia" means "strength" in the Mayan language. And for good reason. They valued these tiny seeds because they provided them with power and energy. And when we look at their properties, we understand why.
A 28-gram serving of chia seeds contains: 11g of fiber, 4g of protein, 9g of fat, 18% of the recommended daily amount of calcium, 30% of magnesium, B1, B3, and more.
I invite you to try a recipe for breakfast or a snack that requires only 3 steps and 4 ingredients: chia seeds, soy milk, raspberries, and brown sugar.
For 2 good portions of pudding (good means filling enough for my breakfast), we need: 5 tablespoons of chia seeds from Alevia, 1 cup of plain soy milk without sugar or other added nonsense, 1 cup of frozen raspberries, and 3 teaspoons of brown sugar.
I set the chia seeds to hydrate with the milk, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Meanwhile, I quickly made the raspberry cream. In a small saucepan, I put the raspberries and sugar and brought them to a boil. Then I removed them from the heat and let them cool.
I divide the already thickened chia pudding equally into glasses, follow with raspberries, then another layer of pudding, with the last layer being raspberries. Serve immediately or the next day.
Enjoy the sweetness!
