Chia seeds are high in omega 3 fatty acids. They absorb liquid and take on the flavor of other ingredients mixed with them. When chia seed pudding is served cold, it is a bit gelatinous so remove it from the fridge about 15 minutes before serving.
Ingredients
1 ½ Cups whole organic raw milk OR organic coconut milk for dairy free!
3 to 4 Tbsps. Grade B maple syrup
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. almond extract (optional)
1/3 Cup Chia seeds
Directions
Add wet ingredients to a pint size mason jar and mix together. Add chia seeds, then cover and shake vigorously until mixed. Shake jar twice more over a 20 minute period, as the chia seeds tend to clump together (tip from Sara!!). Then divide mixture evenly between 4 serving glasses and refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with berries, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings!
You really can make a loaf of bread without flour! This grain free bread has an amazing flavor and texture. Make a sandwich with it or have it with a bowl of soup on a cool day. Coconut Butter and pastured eggs are the main ingredients in this super easy recipe.

5 pastured eggs at room temperature
1/4 cup Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil melted
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp Coconut Butter (also called Coconut Mana) softened till pourable
1/2 tsp unrefined Sea Salt
3/4 tsp baking soda.
Begin by putting the jar of coconut butter into a bowl of hot water or in your double boiler to soften it until the consistency is similar to peanut butter. Stir it with a spoon to ensure there are no lumps.
Place parchment paper into a loaf pan, and grease liberally with coconut oil.
Preheat oven to 300 F.
Whisk eggs in a large bowl, then whisk in all other ingredients until well blended. You can also use a Vitamix or hand mixer. Pour into prepared loaf pan.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes and then remove from pan before cooling completely.
Once fully cooled slice and eat. Keep the loaf in the fridge and tightly wrapped to keep it from drying out. You can toast this, add butter, and put an egg on top for breakfast. It is also great as sandwich bread for lunch.
