Thursday has arrived! That means it’s almost FRIDAY!!! The short weeks always seem to be the longest. Long weekend withdrawal.
Yesterday was a particularly random/funny “Top Searches” day for Sprint 2 the Table; therefore, I’m calling today…
Top Search Thursday!
- Mexican baby shower games (Mexican-themed food. Universal games.)
- Chocolate pudding with beans and avocado (Beans?! Ok, ok… I’d probably try it. These bean brownies are my fav.)
- How to make me mmm mmm mmm (Uhhhh… should I be concerned?)
- Why does my smoothy separate? (Smoothie. Try adding a sprinkle of guar gum.)
- Wines of Lebanon (Thank you, F+W Festival!)
- Remove bitter taste from tempeh (Boil it!)
- Apple pie oatmeal creation (That was pretty tasty.)
- Chipotle state location georgia (That is more Stacy‘s area of expertise.)
- Sweet on you dark chocolate sea salt cookies (If someone made me these cookies, I’d certainly be sweet on them!)
- Good morning peaches (Good Morning! Thanks for the lead-in to today’s post!)
Funny searches, good lead-ins for a dessert-like breakfast… it’s a good day!

A few months ago I made a Banana Cashew Chia Pudding (adapted from Leanne @ Healthful Pursuit) that was seriously reminiscent of actual banana pudding.
Since peaches are the theme lately, I decided to try out a Peach Chia Pudding. I don’t even have the words to describe to you how delicious it was. Tip: martini glasses amplify deliciousness.
First I tried it cold. It was quite tasty. Then I remembered Leanne’s suggestion to heat the banana version. 25 microwave seconds later I thought I was eating peach cobbler.
Chia seeds form a gel-like substance when soaked in liquid (hence the pudding), which is why this is such a great overnight breakfast. In addition to making a fantastic pudding, they are a super food.
A few reasons Chi-chi-chi–chias rock:
- Highest natural source Omega-3 available
- Tons of fiber (7g per 2T)
- Loaded with antooxidents, vitamins, and minerals
- Provide lasting fullness/energy thanks to being slow-digesting
- Hydrating – they can absorb 12x their weight in water!
- May aid in muscle/tissue recovery
This pudding held me over until lunch (not an easy feat). I may eat this every day during peach season.

Peach Cobbler Chia Pudding
- 1 medium peach, sliced
- 1 T chia seeds
- 1 T cashew butter
- 1/4 C unsweetened vanilla coconut milk (I used So Delicious)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
In a small bowl, mash up peach slices until they are a chunky puree. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate over night (or at least 2-3 hours).
In the morning, uncover and stir. Optional: microwave ~25 secs (I strongly recommend trying it hot!).
Note: If you aren’t using a vanilla-flavored milk, you may want to add vanilla extract.

I wonder if people think search terms I use are funny?
What are some of the funniest terms you’ve used/seen?
Do you like chia seeds? How do you eat yours?

What a great post! I was looking for a yummy chia seed recipe to share with a friend, and your Peach Cobbler Chia Pudding looks absolutely amazing! It’s made with some of my most favorite things: peaches, cashew butter, and So Delicious coconut milk! (Seriously, the coconut milk is such a lifesaver for me.) I can’t wait to have this for breakfast tomorrow morning!

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and engaging, and let me tell
you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy that I came across this during my search for something regarding this.
Oscar says

you to definitely continue your great writing, have a
nice holiday weekend!
