Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat.

  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced zucchini, bell pepper chunks, onion wedges, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.

  3. Thread the marinated vegetables onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between different veggies for a colorful presentation.

  4. Place the assembled skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

  5. Remove the veggie skewers from the grill and serve hot as a delightful side dish or as a main course over a bed of quinoa or brown rice.

  6. In a medium mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and lemon zest. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.

  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.

  8. When ready to serve, spoon the chia seed pudding into individual serving glasses or jars.

  9. Layer the mixed berries on top of the pudding and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

  10. Enjoy this refreshing and nutritious Berry-Lemonade Chia Seed Pudding as a guilt-free dessert or a wholesome snack during your Memorial Day celebration.
