Wondering the farmer's market two days ago looking for a recipe muse, I was inspired when my eyes came accross Dahveed sampling CHERRIES! oh my goodnessss! Finally! I love the dark juicy cherries that are plump and ready to be devoured! I also like to use cherries in light recipes such as desserts and breakfast items!
Here is the recipe I did for Cafe Gratitude yesterday at Monday Night Live hosted by the amazin Shea Lynn Baird and her husband Steven of Every Body Cleanse Studio!
My food demo was focused on Nut Free meals inspiring others to go lighter on the daily intake of nuts. I love creating simple recipes that are both sustaining and have water content! Wet granola! what a concept!!
Let me know what you think! ~Melissa

1/3 c goji berries
4-5 TB chia seeds

You may adjust sweetness to your liking by adding a drizzle of pourable honey, clear agave or maple ryrup.
Place all prepped ingredients into large bowl and toss. Adjust sweetest to your liking by adding a drizzel of clear agave or pourable honey.
Before serving, cover your portioned bowl of cereal with (seed, nut, hemp or raw) milk to soften and activate chia.
Let sit for 5 minutes. =) Chia will begin to soften and plump.
With remaining cereal, place in fridge for later snack or quick breakfast the following day.
