This looks delicious!
I was in the advanced raw class with Russell James -- I didn't get a chance to say hello so doing so now!
Hey JL...thanks for stopping by to say hello....Loved your recap of the Russell James class. I've gotta get to writing mine still!
I have used both quinoa and chia seeds to make "tapioca" style pudding. The girls and I LOVED it, but my hubby and older son... not so much. I thought it was DIVINE. Great post!
Hmm i never tried quinioa as a thickener. Does it change the flavor? I don't taste chia at all..here is a suggestion....try grinding the chis first..you wont get the little tapioca like beads..but you will get a nice creamy pudding!
I think you get more nutritional benefits out of the chia by grinding it too. that little bubble of gel and the actual shell of the chia seed make it quite hard for your body to break down the seeds and get the omega benefits inside.
Nice recipe :)
