Simple chia and blueberry pudding

Breakfast

I have a thing for these tiny seeds and blueberries, for a number of reasons – to name a few:

Chia seeds: did you know that ‘chia’ is the Mayan word for ‘strength’? They are loaded with protein, fiber, calcium, manganese and magnesium, phosphorus, antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids! So you have an energy and nutrient packed gem in your hands!

Blueberries: my favourite berries! Packed with vitamin c and k and considered the king of antioxidant foods, they have so many health benefits you simply need to have them in your daily diet!

So, combined these 2 ingredients, gives you a pretty good start to your day or serves as a really good, low calories high energy snack in between meals.

What’s there not to love about berries?! A single day does not pass by that I don’t eat one berry or another! The latest addition to my pantry is acai powder; and I am going wild!! Lol!
