Forget fake tasting pudding mixes with artificial flavors and stabilizers. This simple Banana & Berry Hemp Seed Pudding from Minimalist Baker has just seven ingredients: bananas, fresh berries, coconut/almond milk, hemp seeds, chia seeds and a dash of ground cinnamon.

Simply blend everything together and put in the refrigerator for 2 hours to set. Kids and adults will love this naturally sweet, healthy, refreshing pudding for breakfast or as a snack.

The chia and hemp seeds naturally absorb some of the liquid to form a pudding consistency. They also boost the fiber and protein content.

Possibly one of the quintessential ways to capture the goodness of fresh berries is to make them into jam. There are many delicious family passed down, homemade jam recipes that requires the longer process of canning.

However, this Bumbleberry Chia Seed Jam from Broma Bakery can be made in about 15 minutes with no canning process required. This jam has only 3 cups of berries, maple syrup to taste, chia seeds and lemon juice.

Spread this jam on everything: bread, PB & J, into yogurts, oatmeal, pancakes, etc. It can keep about 7 days in the fridge and in the freezer up to 3 months.

A gallette is basically a simplified, un-fancy pie that can be made fairly quickly. Gallettes can be made any time of year with any fruit. A berry gallette can be a delicious way to enjoy the fresh taste of summer berries without spending all day in the kitchen.

This Jammy Strawberry Gallette by Half Baked Harvest can be a family winning way to enjoy fresh berries. This gallette’s filling simply has 4 cups of strawberries (can be subbed for other berries), a little honey, jam, cornstarch and vanilla for the filling.
