I recently had a lemon curd dessert at an upscale restaurant and just had to try a version of my own, but a healthier one, of course. This Lemon Curd with Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Topping tastes incredibly indulgent, yet it has no dairy or refined sugar in it. Make this for a special occasion. You can serve it warm, or cold. We liked it cold.

The tangy lemon pairs so well with the sweet strawberry and rhubarb. If you haven’t cooked with rhubarb, you’ve got to try this healthy fruit! It tastes a bit tart raw, but gets sweeter when cooked or baked.

Rhubarb is also loaded with nutrition. It is a great source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, B-complex vitamins, potassium, manganese, protein, and magnesium. It is also very high in antioxidants which helps prevent cancer and heart disease. Vitamin K is the most prevalent nutrient in rhubarb, which is essential for brain health. Vitamin K also improves bone health by stimulating bone growth and repair.

There now, didn’t I make you feel so good about eating this delicious dessert!!
