Spread the butternut and onion on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with 2,5ml of the garlic powder, the mineral salt and pepper. Roast for about 20–30 minutes, stirring once or twice. When tender, remove from the oven and sprinkle the cranberries on top.

Chocolate chia pudding Ingredients: 250ml almond milk; 60ml chia seeds; 30ml cocoa powder; 15ml maple syrup; 2,5ml vanilla extract; pinch of sea salt Method: Whisk ingredients in a bowl or glass jar. Let it sit for a few minutes and then whisk again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together as they absorb the liquid. Let the mixture chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight. When you’re ready to enjoy the chia pudding, gently mix and scoop into a bowl. Top with berries, chopped nuts, flaked coconut, banana or granola. March 2020 Get It Joburg West 25
