Recipe: Chia Balls

Today we have a special guest, Dr. Ramona Grosu from Casa Bio, who presents a quick, tasty and nutritionally balanced recipe. It was designed as a special dessert for diabetics, for those allergic to gluten, and for young children (having no added sugar; the sweetness comes from dates).

Ingredients

650ml plant-based milk (recipe below)
200g chia seeds
plum butter

Walnut Plant Milk

200g hydrated walnuts
8 dates
800ml hot water
zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon bourbon vanilla (dehydrated; or vanilla extract)

Yield: 1 liter milk

How to prepare chia balls

  1. To prepare the plant milk: blend everything in a blender. If desired, you can strain through a fine sieve.
  2. Mix the chia seeds with the plant milk and let soak for at least 15 minutes. The seeds will swell and result in an easily moldable paste.
  3. Form balls from the resulting dough, placing 1 teaspoon of plum butter in the center of each.
