As part of our ‘We Are Sure About Seeds’ campaign, Chia Bia fan Lilly Higgins was on the TV 3, Six O Clock Show kitchen yesterday. Lilly demonstrated how to make a simple chia pudding with a delicious Raspberry Chia Jam and Chia Mandarin & Passion Fruit Marmalade. All of these chia recipes are raw (they do not need to be cooked) and can be made in under 10 minutes!
The chia jam is a tasty topping for the pudding or it works lovely in smoothies, porridge or as a layer in chocolate cake too! The marmalade is great on brown bread or on top of creamy desserts.
Chia seed is an easy way to boost nutrition for all the family as it is high in Omega 3, Fibre, Protein and other Vitamins & Minerals. Our milled chia seed and fruit milled mixes are easily disguised in children’s meals which is an added bonus!
If you are a fan of preparing food on a Sunday evening for the busy week ahead, these recipes will last for up to one week in the fridge in an airtight container. Chia puddings are great for breakfast & snacks, pop it into a smaller container and it’s the perfect travel partner!
