by If only I wrote my recipes BEFORE eating them! After tasting my chia bowl this morning, I thought it was the best one I’ve ever made. I cleaned the counter and took photos before continuing to devour it — all to share the pleasure with you.
Since I cook instinctively, and because I’m somewhat dyscalculic (I hate numbers), don’t count on me to measure ingredients right down to the nearest tenth of a gram. But if you’re the mood for inspiration, I am the cook for you! Even more, this recipe is FODMAP for those of you, like me, suffer from food intolerances (fructose for me).
And if you think you need to make it the night before? Not at all! Give it 30 minutes in the fridge, and it will have the desired texture and can hold it for 5 days if you don’t add any fruits or sauce right after.
