The idea for this recipe came to me after a trip to a farmer’s market. Part of my haul included fresh raspberries from Michigan. Our neighboring state is one of the best for berries! These raspberries are a bit tart, a bit sweet, and so full of flavor and color. They are also rich in fiber, which most people don’t get enough of. I combined my raspberries with chia seed and a bit of honey, topped with dark melted chocolate and it was the most perfect treat. You don’t have to add honey but my chocolate was over 90% dark, so I needed a higher degree of sweetness. Chia seed is full of healthy omega 3 fats, is a complete protein (= keeping you fuller for longer) and a great source of calcium and magnesium (for healthy bones). More importantly, it was one of the most delectable desserts I’ve had in a while!
