I had a “I’m getting old and grew up in the 80’s” moment yesterday. My daughter and
her friend, Aubrey were in the kitchen while I was bagging up chia yesterday when Aubrey asked me, “what I was doing.” I explained I was bagging up chia, “you know like the Chia Pet.” She had no idea what I was talking about, which of course led to a lengthy discussion not only about the Chia Pet but also The Clapper :)! Thank goodness for YouTube, it explained everything perfectly!

Tami Girsberger
2 Cups Vanilla Almond Milk or Coconut Milk (found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store in paper cartons)
1/2 cup Chia Seeds (just dump them in dry)
2 T. Raw Agave Nectar (I’m pretty sure I found this in the baking section)
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Whisk all of the ingredients together. (I like to whisk it every so often for about 30 min.) Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. Serve with a dollop of Greek Vanilla Yogurt and fresh berries. (Or just grab a spoon and snag a few bites for a super quick pick-me-up!)
