Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 0.25 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or agave nectar
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the mixed berries thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. Optionally, slice the strawberries if they are large.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, grated ginger, orange juice, maple syrup (or agave nectar), and lemon zest.
Sprinkle the chia seeds over the berry mixture and gently toss everything together until well coated.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to absorb some of the juices, creating a slightly thickened consistency.
Transfer the berry mixture into serving bowls or glasses.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
