Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 teaspoons honey
8 large brown rice cakes
4 tablespoons natural smooth peanut butter
1/2 small Asian pear or Golden Delicious apple, cored and cut into 4 even rounds

Steps:

Combine the raspberries, blueberries, chia seeds, 1 tablespoon water and the honey in a medium bowl. Smash the mixture with a potato masher or fork until the berries are the consistency of a chunky jam. Cover and refrigerate until the chia seeds soften and the jam thickens slightly, about 30 minutes (the raspberry seeds will give the jam a crunchy texture).
Spread 1 rice cake with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and top with 1/4 of the chia jam and a slice of pear. Sandwich with another rice cake. Repeat to make 3 more sandwiches
