1.Chocolate Chia Pudding:
Ingredients:
- 122 gm chia seeds
- 243 ml water
- 22 gm cocoa powder
- 23 gm maple syrup
- A pinch of salt
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh fruits
Method
- Take a fairly small-sized bowl and in it, add water, maple syrup, salt, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and your vanilla extract. You can then fold all these ingredients gently.
- After this, all you have to do is prop this mixture into the refrigerator and leave it for the whole night because, during this interim, the chia seeds will form a thick, delicious custard-like texture.
- The next morning, take the pudding out, top it off with some fresh fruits, and enjoy it as your tasty and healthy breakfast.
If you are in the mood to experiment a little more, you can even use interesting flavors like matcha or zested lemon in the pudding.

Ingredients:
- 253 gm mixed berries (blueberries and raspberries taste fantastic together)

- 55 ml water
- 16 gm lemon juice

Method
- As the first step, you can let modern technology do the work for you by combining the berries, water, lemon juice, sugar, and salt in an electric blender. But make sure you are mixing these ingredients until the concoction is smooth.
- Next, you have to take this slightly thick mixture and pass it through a strainer in order to remove the seeds.
- Technology will come to your aid once more in the next step when you take this mixture and put it into your ice cream maker. Please ensure that you follow the instructions in the manual to churn it well.
