A number of you dear readers who have been following my Raw Food Meatless Monday Man Challenge have suggested to me that I make some raw food desserts.  I wanted a raw dessert to serve us for our Monday night dinner that could actually pass off as our main meal.  It needed to be nutritious, filling and not too sweet.  To complicate my requirements furthermore, it had to comply with my fructose malabsorption (FM) restrictions. Many raw food desserts contain dried fruit which are completely off the menu for a FM so I had to delve a bit deeper for something more interesting."Perth Restaurant Reviews" "food photos" "Perth food blog" "food blog" "Chompchomp" "Gluten free" "Fructose malabsorption" "gluten free recipes" "paleo recipes" "baking recipes" "raw food" "raw recipes" "meatless monday" "Raw Meatless Monday Man Challenge" "vegetarian" "raw food recipes" "blender recipes" "omniblend recipes" "healthy recipes" "gluten free raw recipes" "green smoothies" "green smoothie recipes" “vegan recipes” “raw dessert” “dairy free dessert recipe” “gluten free dessert recipe” “fructose malabsorption dessert recipe” “dairy free recipe” “cashew cream” “chia pudding” “black chia” “chia berry pudding” “chia dessert”

To kick start our day, I created a savoury green smoothie which is low in calories yet full of nutrients. Unlike last week’s smoothie, this one is light on the stomach and easier to drink. For dinner I have made use of some organic chia seeds I recently received from the generous guys at Cheap Superfoods. The chia seeds are raw and unprocessed meaning that all their antioxidant and essential fatty acid content remains undamaged. The berry cinnamon chia pudding is dairy free, gluten free, raw, fructose friendly AND it tastes AMAZING!

The Boy’s review of the Savoury Green Smoothie & Fruit & Cinnamon Chia Pudding:

“When deciding to switch to a plant based diet I knew the one thing I would really miss would be Dairy and in particular cheeses and desserts.  While I am more than happy to eat more berries and other fresh fruits, I have a real weakness when it comes to Ice Cream and knew that this was the one thing that I would really miss.  When Chomp told me that she was making us a raw desert I must say I was highly sceptical but at the same time hopeful that she could come up with something that would be a reasonable substitute.
 
The delicious Fruit and Cinnamon Chia Pudding that she prepared was a pleasant surprise and made for both a great dessert alternative and a filling breakfast again the following morning.   A thoroughly enjoyable treat it is easy to see that this dish could be modified into many different alternatives simply by changing the fruits and level of sweetness. 
 
The Savoury Green Smoothie is a simple, basic smoothie that was easy to drink and tasted great.  Being so simple to make and nutritious this one has now been added to my morning breakfast routine and replaced the store bought smoothie I was previously having.”

 

Over the next coming weeks I will be publishing some blender recipes that I have created with my OmniBlend. The concept is for each Monday to not only stick with Meatless Monday and eat only vegetarian but to take it to the next level and make it a Raw Food Meatless Monday. For the whole day we will only eat raw, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and fructose friendly.

7 Thoughts on “Savoury Green Smoothie & Fruit & Cinnamon Chia Pudding

  1. OMG chomp! You are really giving healthy eating a whole new meaning!!!! I am impressed! Just a recommendation, try something Vietnamese or Thai. The flavours from the chili, garlic, sugar and vinegar sauce are often fabulous to spice vegetables a little ehehe.

    • I have got a bit carried away…I had a Thai dish on the second week of this health kick? I made some Thai “noodles” from julienned carrot and zucchini. It was extremely delicious.
