chia seed pudding

Have you prepared chia seed pudding yet? – it’s so easy to wing it. For instance —

Put 2 Tablespoons of chia seeds in a bowl with about 1/3 cup of water, or water with freshly squeezed lemon juice, coconut water, or almond milk. Stir carefully until well-mixed. If there are a lot of chia seeds adhering to the spoon, keep stirring. When all is thoroughly mixed, cover, place in refrigerator, and let gel. Experiment with the ratio of water to chia seeds, so you’ll have the consistency you want.

Many different ingredients can be added – foods and spices you have on hand, e.g., ripe bananas, avocado, organic powered chocolate, sesame seeds, cinnamon, turmeric, vanilla, maple syrup, stevia – any combination stirred in with the chia seeds. Or . . .

it’s all so simple and tasty: cinnamon, vanilla, and coconut shreds mixed well with the chia seeds and allowed to gel. Then remove from refrigerator and top with fruits of your choice – mangoes, oranges, papayas, pineapple, watermelon, berries. So delicious and nutritious.

Make sure you have a lovely day today!

greeting cards feel*express*connect at soulebrate.com and at soulcialize.com

How are you today?

As I drank a smoothie this morning which consisted of blending frozen organic wild blueberries, raspberries, and peaches, along with 1tablespoon chia seeds, 1teaspoon turmeric, 1teaspoon Spirulina, 1tablespoon Navitas cocoa powder, a sprinkling of black caraway seeds, a pinch of Stevia, and because I haven’t gotten around to preparing coconut or almond milk, in went 1cup of filtered water, I marveled at the fact that since completing the 21-day CLEAN PROGRAM by Dr. Alejandro Junger, the taste for coffee is non-existent. This from a person who truly enjoyed drinking, and savoring, a wonderfully delicious cup of coffee, either at home, or at a cafe. I’m still asking myself, “What the heck happened?” I’ll just say that life is ever changing and ever fascinating.

And the smoothie? Well, it was tasty, and so feeling energized, I checked out the greeting cards on Tara-jenelle Walsch’s website www.soulebrate.com These greeting cards are “inspired by Byron Katie and Neale Donald Walsch,” and tend to move the spirit. The beauty of the cards help set the pace for a lovely day. The words and the design have it all.

After feasting my eyes on the cards, I decided to check out her video at www.soulcialize.com Now should you decide to watch and listen also, be prepared for words that will possibly hit home, words like, “. . . half of the world was using food, gambling, sex, alcohol, trying to numb out. . . .” and “. . . somewhere along the line we were using our heads more and our hearts less.” and “. . . there’s nothing we have to learn how to do, we need to just be . . . free, open, accessible, available, alive, intentional, connect with our heart, with life, with others, with ourselves.”

Yes, listen to her story and cry with her, and listen to where she is now and be happy for her, and for all of us, and let’s allow ourselves this gift of being truly alive during the time we’re here on Planet Earth.

I hope you enjoy Tara-jenelle Walsch’s words on her video, and then I hope you’ll enjoy a spectacular Saturday.
