Greetings friends. I hope you are all doing well. Though it has only been 2 weeks of being inactive on Hive, it feels like an eternity lol. So much has happened in the past 2 weeks. It's been crazy busy at the bakery, we went on a stunning hike to Omal waterfall, I finished one of my herbalist courses, and had some friends over for a vegan cookout!

Today, however, I finally found some spare time as it is too hot to move right now. Going to the swimming pool later, but for now, we are enjoying the coolness of our house and a refreshing glass of Kombucha.

Earlier this morning I made blueberry chia breakfast pudding! A refreshing and nutritious start to the day. Though they come at a hefty price, I am so happy we can finally find organic strawberries and blueberries here in Cambodia.

In the 8 years we have been living here, it is the one thing I miss from Europe. Apart from friends and family of course.

Let’s talk chia seed pudding now!

BLUEBERRY CHIA SEED BREAKFAST PUDDING

Chia seeds can absorb up to 12 times their weight in water. When they do, they swell in size and take on a gelatinous texture, making them an excellent substance to make jams, jelly, and puddings.

Optional: cut strawberries into thin slices and stick them to the inside of your jar.

Divide the slightly set chia seed pudding into the jars. Let set in the fridge for a few hours. Overnight is best.

In the morning, take out the jars and top them with your favorite toppings. I used extra blue=berries, strawberries, toasted almonds, and desiccated coconut.

Nom nom nom.
