This is so good on a piece of toasted Ezekiel bread (Thank you so much Mom!!!). Add some PB2 and it's a meal.

YUM! Do the cha, cha, cha, chia seeds act as a thickener! Crazy. What are chia seeds really? Cause I am pretty sure there are no chia plants. And are they coated with anything to make them grow fast?
ReplyDeleteLOVE, Love and love your blog!!
I know so crazy and if you use raspberries no one notices the "seeds" in it.
ReplyDeleteYes you can grow a chia plant in your backyard. The plant is called
Salvia hispanica. When the plant goes to see you get chia seeds. I don't know if I am brave enought to plant it though.
BUT... Do you remember mom making us avacado sandwiches with sprouts? You can sprout chia seeds for that kind of use too.
