Everything But the Kitchen Sink Chia

"CREATIVITY GOES BEYOND SHEER ARTISTRY; IT TAKES COURAGE TO EXPRESS YOUR IDEAS." 
Quote by Terri Trespicio

I had a hankering for some chia the other morning and started throwing it together. The end result was amazing. It was one of the best bowls of raw breakfast cereal I've put together yet. For the base I used a wonderful product called "Chia Goodness" from Ruth's Hemp Foods, Inc. http://www.ruthshempfoods.com/
I purchased it to see if it would make a good travel food. I bought the original flavor which lists the ingredients to be: Chia (Salvia hispanica), buckwheat, hulled hemp seeds, Celtic Sea Salt. The answer to my question is YES, this would make a fantastic travel food. It comes in a convenient resealable bag and it is so simple to make, you could make it anywhere. Simply measure 2 tablespoons of Chia Goodness into your bowl, add 4 tablespoons of hot or cold water, stir well and wait 3-5 minutes until it thickens. This is where the creativity comes in. You decide how you want to dress up your Chia Goodness. That is what I love about chia, it is like a blank canvas just waiting to be splashed with flavor.

Here is my simple recipe for Everything But the Kitchen Sink Chia:
2 T Chia Goodness
1/4 C warm water
small handful of organic raisins
1 T Gogi berries
1 T sesame seeds
1 T raw sunflower seeds
1 T raw pumpkin seeds
1 T Hemp seeds
pinch of sea salt
dash or two of cinnamon
1 ripe pear, diced
Place everything into a bowl, except for the pear and allow to sit for 3-5 minutes. Stir well and then add the diced pear. Enjoy!
+JMJ+Today I am grateful for kicking a bad habit. I had fallen under the spell of the evil coffee AGAIN! Don't know how I did it but it just happened. Well today was the first day of going cold turkey. The headache set in late this afternoon and I am feeling a bit nasty. But the good news is I didn't even miss drinking a cup this morning. I am happy that I will no longer have that nasty chemical/drug in my body.
