Chocolate Cherry Collagen Chia Bombs

What babe doesn’t love an extra hit of collagen, right? This super easy snack is filled with collagen powder PLUS chia seeds which help to increase collagen production. With dark cherries added in, you are increasing collagen production with that hit of Vitamin C. Grab a spoon and dive in!!! Perfect post workout snack too.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 cups dairy free milk – I used coconut milk for a creamier texture, but you can also use almond, soy or cashew milk
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1-2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • handful of fresh dark cherries, chopped finely
  • 1 scoop of collagen powder
  • 1 scoop of Chocolate Protein Powder
  • few tbsp of nut butter of choice
  • sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings

DIRECTIONS:

  • To a mixing bowl add dairy free milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (to taste), and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours). The chia pudding should be thick and creamy. If not, add more chia seeds, stir, and refrigerate for another hour or so.
  • When ready, layer bottom of jars with cherries, chia seed mix and top with some nut butter. Will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days. I used a mix of mason jars and little individual ones.

Ginger Mushroom Miso Broth Ingredients:

5 thin slices of fresh ginger root

1 tbsp of tamari sauce

5-6 dumplings of choice

2 tsp sesame oil, plus more for serving

Himalayan salt, as needed

Cooked sticky rice and fresh cilantro, for serving

Optional: lime wedge

Directions:

  1. Preheat the one to 425 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place a box grater over the tray and grate the tofu over the largest holes to create tofu shreds. Top the tofu with the tamari, vinegar, cornstarch, and sesame seeds then drizzle with the oil. Toss to coat then spread the shreds into a single layer on the tray. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
  2. Then toss the shreds using tongs and bake again for 5-8 minutes until crispy.
  3. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium low heat. When hot, add the onion/leeks with a pinch of salt.
  4. Saute for 5 minutes or until the things have started to soften and become golden in color. Add the ginger, garlic and continue to saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add in the sliced mushrooms and 3 1/2 cups water. Stir to combine, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. While the soup is simmering, add the miso paste and the remaining 1 cup of water and sesame oil to a large glass measuring cup.
  7. Whisk together until the miso is fully dissolved with no lumps.
  8. Add in the miso broth to the pot. Use an immersion blender to blend the broth a bit but not fully smooth.
  9. Add the dumplings and simmer another 5 minutes.
  10. To serve, add a scoop of rice and the dumplings to a serving bowl. Then ladle the soup around the rice. Top with the crispy tofu, fresh ginger and garnish with extra sesame oil and fresh cilantro!!!
