Many of you know, I add spinach to lots of things. Waffles. Pancakes.
Good green.
So adding the vibrant green to my chia pudding? Totally normal.
I am back to chia pudding breakfasts lately. On a normal day, this is such an easy breakfast for me – I usually make one first thing and stick it in the fridge to ‘set’ while I enjoy my coffee. By the time I am ready for breakfast, the chia is ready and I can add banana, berries, granola, whatever sounds good that day.
In addition to the heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids, chia seeds are packed with antioxidants, minerals, protein, and fiber. When I was testing Fruit Sweetened Brownie recipes, I may have had extra fruit concentrates in my freezer. These were perfect to flavor my chia puddings – so versatile!
Loving these quick and easy chia pudding breakfasts…

Vegan Goat Cheese Bacon Wrapped Dates
I really dislike that phrase life changing when it is used to describe something that is most decidedly not.
I am not going to, but if I were to utter the phrase, this would be the time.
I have been mostly vegetarian from a young age. Like, way before the Hot Dog Incident even. Before making that conscious decision to not eat meat, one thing I enjoyed the flavor of was bacon. I loved the flavor, I loved the smell – that’s about it. I rarely ate it.
In the last year, I have eaten more of this bacon than any real bacon ever. and I have been making all kinds of things with it – like wrapping it around stuffed dates. Mmm.
Let me tell you – when you cook this bacon? Your kitchen smells. like. bacon. Actual bacon. This also …
