🌱Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or 5-6 chopped dates)
- ¼ cup chia seeds
👩🍳Directions
- In a medium sized pot, add the berries and cook over medium heat for 5-8 minutes stirring frequently. The fruit will begin to cook down into a sauce.
- Break down the larger chunks of fruit with a potato masher or fork until you get the consistency you prefer. Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla, maple syrup and chia seeds. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature and thicken. Serve over toast, plant-based yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, or granola/cereal. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months.
