Ding, ding, we have a winner.
Get in my belly!
Etc.
I saw this pin and wanted to go to the store immediately, because they look so beautiful. Yesterday, I finally made it happen. I altered the original recipe quite a bit, because I'm not really a shredded coconut fan.
Original recipe:
• 1/2 cup lite coconut milk
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 3/4 cup raspberries
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp sweetened shredded coconut
• 8 drops Nu-Naturals liquid stevia (or sugar/honey to taste)
My version:
• 1 cup vanilla soy milk
• 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 T. Splenda/Sugar blend
I was hoping the vanilla soy milk would be sweet enough on its own, but it wasn't quite enough, so I added a bit of the Splenda crap. I'm gradually transitioning away from the artificial stuff because I don't really want my kids eating a ton of it.
They turned out amazing. They are definitely as good as they look. I wasn't sure the little girl would like them since she isn't a big fan of the chia seeds, but she ate the crap out of it and wanted more.
The best part about this refreshing dessert/snack/breakfast (yes, I ate one for breakfast because I couldn't wait any longer to try them) is that with my recipe, they are only 67 calories each. Yes. I said 67 calories.
Highly, highly recommend this one, folks. I'll be making another batch...and another...and another until the soy milk is gone.
oooh, yum! Thanks for sharing, I'm glad it worked out without almond milk because I'm allergic to nuts. I'm going to try with yogurt instead of one of the vegan milks (I only have cow milk), think it will work?
