Antioxidants from berries and the omega 3 boost of chia seeds make this a great topping for wholemeal toast, pikelets and pancakes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen raspberries
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 ½ tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients into a small pot over medium heat.
  2. Bring to the boil and simmer slowly for around 6-7 minutes, stirring often, until the raspberries have broken down.
  3. Allow to cool, then pour into a jar and refrigerate.

Chef's Tips

  • You can also add the fruit or toppings to the blender at step 2 (or 2 tablespoons cocoa) to create different nice cream flavours such as strawberry, peanut or chocolate.
  • This tastes just as good as regular ice cream but is super healthy; I love it!
  • Best eaten immediately as sadly it does not freeze well once blended.
  • This is delicious served on wholemeal pancakes for breakfast!
