If you have been looking for an excuse to buy chia seeds…this is it. This is a very easy recipe and doubles as an amazing breakfast or dessert. Pomegranate seeds are powerful antioxidants and are rich in Vitamin C. Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc. Cashews are a great source of minerals including selenium, copper and zinc. And chia seeds are a great source of omega 3 fatty acids and fibre. This recipe is a real nutrient powerhouse and great for fighting colds and flus.
Serves 2-4
Ingredients
- ½ cup chia seeds
- Seeds from one pomegranate
- ½ cup toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) *
Honey Cream
- 2 cups water
- ¼ cup roasted cashews *
- 2 tbsp raw, wild-harvested honey

* It is always best to buy unsalted and raw nuts and dry roast them yourself. Seeds can be dry roasted on the stove top, for 5 minutes over medium high heat (shake the pan often). Nuts can be roasted in the oven at 350°F for 8 -10 minutes until they start to smell nutty. Be sure that they are arranged in a single layer and give them a stir after 4-5 minutes. *
