OH MY GOODNESS!!! These look DELICIOUS! Almond butter is my new favorite thing. What is sucanat and where do I get it? btw, they sell chia seeds at New Season's for $12 a pound. I bought some.
ReplyDeleteThey are SO delicious and chewy! It is because of your proclaimed new love of almond butter that this recipie caught my eye! You will find sucunat at New Seasons in the sugar area - orange 12 oz bag.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Wonderful World of Chia Seeds! I have found that consuming them in gel form is the best. Whisk 1/3 cup of seeds into 2 cups of water. Let stand for 10 minutes, whisk again very well. Will keep in fridge for 10 days, though it wont last that long!
I've been putting the gel into yogurts, water, and juices. 3 Tablespoons of gell 2 or 3 times a day, or whenever you feel like it. Great for a post run beverage.
Anyone reading this may think we've "lost it" with all this talk about chia seeds and sucanat. ~ So, I will just conclude by saying that today I stepped into my skinny jeans.... AND THEY FIT!!!
