Ingredients
  • 1 pound ripe strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped out and reserved
  • pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions
  1. Wash and cut the tops off the strawberries. Put the berries in a food processor (or blender), add the maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla bean seeds and salt, and blend on the highest setting until smooth.
  2. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the chia seeds and process until fully incorporated, 5 to 10 seconds.
