Ingredients

Paninis

Strawberry Chia Seed Spread

Instructions

For the Paninis

  • Slice each morning round in half.  Use a butter knife to carefully slice into each half, creating a pocket for the fillings.
  • Spread ½ tbs of peanut butter into each pocket, followed by a heaping ½ tbs of the strawberry spread.
  • Turn on your panini press (or if you don't have a panini press, you can try the grill too!  I mean, July is National Grilling Month, so why not?).  When fully heated, cook in the press until grill marks form.  Serve immediately!
  •  

For the Strawberry Chia Seed Spread

  • Puree fresh, ripe strawberries and measure 1½ cups of the puree.
  • Whisk in the chia seeds and stevia extract, cover, and let sit overnight.  Keeps for ~1 week.
