About Hemp seeds
If you've never tried hemp seeds, you're in for a treat. High in protein and omega 3, these seeds have the texture and nutty flavor of pine nuts. We throw them on everything - fruit, green salads, even ice cream. Unlike chia and flax, my other favorite high omega 3 seeds, you can eat hemp seeds right out of the bag as there is no need to soak or grind them.

| Tonight's dessert is chia pudding! Top it with a little cinnamon or mix in some fresh berries. We love it with blueberries and diced Manila mango! |
Hi Joanne. Your Faux Tuna Salad with the cucumbers looks amazing and delicious. I made your Chia Seed Pudding and it was so yummy and extremely easy. I layered it with raspberries & blueberries and it tasted so fresh with the perfect amount of sweetness. I didn't add any sugar to the berries either. I posted it on my blog with a link to your recipe. Thank you and have a great weekend:)
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect with berries! Your parfait looks lovely! In fact, later in the week I will be posting the idea of eating it with fruit and berries as a breakfast pudding. There's no end to what you can do with chia pudding!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend too!
