At last it is the strawberry season. Now the fruit not only looks beautiful but is tasty and smells like nothing else in the world. Again we will eat porridge with strawberries, noodles with strawberry mousse for dinner, strawberry cocktails for afternoon tea, and salad with strawberries for supper. Every year I go at the strawberry season with gusto, and after a few weeks I will be fed up and won't be able to look at this yummy, fragrant fruit.

For a good start, I recommend an excellent and healthy strawberry dessert with chia seeds. It is great after Sunday dinner, for afternoon tea, or, if you prepare them earlier, for an energetic, filling and yummy breakfast.

The inspiration for this dessert comes from "Smaki życia" ("Flavour of Life") by Agnieszka Maciąg.

Ingredients (for 4 people)
300g of strawberries
300ml of milk (it may be coconut milk or whatever you prefer)
honey or maple syrup
4 tablespoons of chia seeds
fruit and peppermint leaves for decoration

Clean the strawberries and remove the shanks. Add the milk and one tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Blend it thoroughly. Try it and if necessary add a bit more honey. Add the chia seeds, mix them in and leave in the fridge for 4-5 hours. Stir once again. Put the dessert into a small bowl and decorate with the fruit and peppermint leaves.

Enjoy your meal!
