- Prep time: 5 minutes
- 2 hours (or overnight)
- Quantity: 2 servings
Ingredients You Will Need
- 1/4 cup organic chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or macadamia milk)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup fresh organic raspberries or blackberries
- A generous pinch of high-quality sea salt (Flaky sea salt is highly recommended!)
- Optional: A pinch of pure stevia or monk fruit
Combine: In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a glass mason jar, add the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, pure vanilla extract, and your optional stevia.
Whisk: Grab a whisk and mix vigorously until the batter is completely smooth and the chia seeds are evenly distributed without clumping.
Rest & Stir: Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then give it one more thorough stir to prevent the seeds from settling at the bottom.
Sprinkle & Chill: Top each individual portion with a generous pinch of high-quality sea salt. Place the container in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best pudding-like consistency.
Top: Right before eating, gently fold in your fresh organic berries.
Nutritional Benefits:
Chia Seeds: Packed with dietary fiber and healthy omega-3 fatty acids to keep you full and provide a steady release of energy.
Unsweetened Almond Milk: A light, dairy-free base that is gentle on digestion and provides Vitamin E, an essential antioxidant that protects your cells from oxidative stress.
Fresh Berries: A low-glycemic, whole-food source of sweetness that provides powerful flavonoids and antioxidants without the sharp blood sugar spikes associated with refined sugars.
Sea Salt: Delivers essential trace minerals and electrolytes, which are crucial for hydration, nerve function, and supporting adrenal health during busy or stressful days.
🌱 Important Note for Detox Phases
If you are currently navigating a specific detox or wellness reset program, your body is working hard to clear out waste and recalibrate. When you are actively engaged in a detox phase, your body requires clean, easily digestible fuel without overwhelming your digestive or hepatic systems.
To strictly adhere to your protocol, omit the berries entirely and use a small pinch of pure stevia or monk fruit to keep your glycemic load as close to zero as possible. Consume them mid-morning or mid-afternoon alongside a large glass of filtered water to sustain your metabolic fire and smoothly bridge the gap between your primary meals.
