WHAAAAT?
Simply getting ready for this crazy 8-week challenge has been a huge learning curve. I had no idea these seeds/foods even existed! I flipped through Sarah Wilson's book, "I Quit Sugar", with pen and paper at the ready and wrote down all the ingredients I have never heard of. I came up with a pretty extensive list.
Today I walked in to town with my little boy Alex ready to find all these weird and exciting ingredients. I eagerly walked in to the local health food shop with my huge list in my hand. The whole shop was filled with ingredients, potions and lotions I have never seen or heard of before. This is a new world to me. I quickly found quinoa, flaxseeds and a few nuts. I walked around pretending that I do this all the time but I think the cashier quickly found me out when I struggled to pronounce "Amaranth".
This challenge is still in the "excitement" stage. I am ready and buzzing to get started. I wonder how long this feeling will last?
I came home and quickly whipped up my first no-sugar brekkie ready for our big launch on Saturday. Cashewy Chia Puddings.
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Chia Seeds (White is best but I used black, I hope that's ok?)
375ml Almond Milk or Cashew Milk or regular milk
25g frozen berries (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla powder (I couldn't find powder so I have ground vanilla pods)
granulated stevia, to taste
pinch of salt
Method:
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Place in 2 serving bowls and chill to serve.
Note: I have made mine ready for Saturday and placed it in a glass jar in the fridge. It will keep for a few days in the fridge. Serves 2.
Bring it on Saturday.
