Sprouted Chia Low Carb Dessert

As I mentioned in previous posts I have switched our gardening focus to my window sill sprout garden over the last month or so. One of my delightfully successful experiments was to make a sprouted chia desert. Chia seeds have 4g of carbs per tablespoon and it is all fiber. Unlike alfalfa or mung bean sprouts, chia sees have a gel sack around the outside that absorbs all the mositure needed for the seed to germinate. This gel sack makes the liquid they are in thick and viscous.

This gelling process happens quickly and the thickening can be substantial by just letting it stand overnight. Here is the recipe using chia seeds, coconut milk, stevia and the fruit of your choice.
