We’ve been using the fresh strawberries from our adventure last week non-stop. So far our favorites have been a yummy oatmeal banana strawberry smoothie (recipe coming soon) and this strawberry chia seed compote. Piper also has been loving a few strawberries blended into her unsweetened applesauce. I love this compote though, because you can use it a ton of different ways, on toast, in yogurt, on top of ice cream in place of jam on a sandwich, the options are endless. I also like it because it only has a small amount of agave, no added sugar and because both Piper and I enjoy it.
I’ve been serving it to Piper mixed with full-fat greek yogurt. A great alternative to the sugar laden strawberry greek yogurt at the grocery store and the chia seeds pack in omega-3’s.
