Chia pudding is not only a delicious breakfast or snack, but it is also straightforward to prepare. All you have to do is mix the chia seeds and the non-dairy milk and let it rest for a few hours in the fridge. That’s all!

Delicious, healthy and versatile

For me, the best thing about chia pudding is that it is super versatile: you can make it with the milk that you like the most. Personally, I love it with coconut and almond milk; You can customize it by adding the essence of vanilla, cinnamon or even cocoa powder; you can sweeten it with your favourite sweetener; and at the end, you decorate it with the fruits, seeds, nuts or cream that you prefer.

These crackers are by far the best flourless crackers I have ever made. They are super crunchy, easy to make and so delicious. To make them you will only need a mix of seeds, salt and water. And if you want, you can spice them up adding your favorite spices.

These crackers are great for appetizers, meals and snacks, and are perfect with any sauce; try them with baba ganoush, beetroot sauce, and even cashew spread or almond butter. These crackers are also an easy snack to take to work, on a field trip, to the beach or wherever you want.

The recipe that I propose today, is one of the simplest that I have prepared at all, but really delicious. It is a pudding of chia seeds and flax with coconut milk. Its preparation is really simple and fast, but you have to let it rest for a few hours in the fridge. If taken at breakfast you can accompany fresh fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries …

When we talk about healthy fats, we often forget that seeds are not only part of this group but they are foods rich in Omega-3 and fiber; For this reason, I decided to share this recipe, whose protagonists are the seeds.

I hope you like it!

When talking about jams, the most popular are strawberry or apricot, but my favorite has always been the plum jam, which reminds me of when I was a girl. Apart from the classic flavors, jams are very curious and original, myself, when I finish refining the recipes, I will share an onion and vanilla jam and a rhubarb and ginger. For now, I share this recipe for raw plum jam.

The jam is a very typical and ancient recipe, which finds its roots (at least in Europe) in Ancient Greece and in the Roman Empire; Both civilizations, in fact, already used to cook the fruit with honey or sweet wine, to create jams that were preserved much longer than the fruit. Of course, it is not possible to speak of jam as we know it today, until at least the 7th century, when Arab expansion brought sugar to Europe.
