Chia breakfast

Do you fancy a guilt-free pudding for breakfast? Chia seeds are what you are looking for.
These tiny black seeds have the ability to turn any liquid into a luscious, custard-like pudding.
As well as the transformative power of chia seeds, they are also high in fiber (this is great news for digestive health) and antioxidants.
Vegan? Chia seeds are a good vegan source of calcium, magnesium and Omega 3s.

For a grab and go breakfast, prepare them the day before. They keep well in the fridge for a couple of days.

Ingredients for 1:
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
2 teaspoons of honey
1 small banana to top
a handful of blueberries to top

Method:
Put the chia seeds, honey and almond milk into a bowl. Stir until it is well combined.
Leave to stand for 15 minutes.
After the 15 minutes, you should come back to chia pudding. If the consistency is too thick, just add some more almond milk & stir again.
Top with banana and blueberries before devouring it.

A pineapple smoothie for better digestion

Pineapple has long been used as digestive aid in folk remedies.
Whilst some folk remedies are questionable, it turns out they were right in this case.
Pineapples are a great source of the enzyme bromelain which helps to break down proteins. This is great news if you have overindulged on meat this weekend.

For this smoothie, I have combined pineapple & lemon since both may boost digestion.
Why should you be bothered about better digestion? Well, you have no other way of absorbing nutrients from food so getting this part right is crucial.

Ingredients for 2:
1/2 small pineapple, skin removed, cubed
1 lemon, peeled
2 dates
a cup of greens (I used spinach)
1 cup of almond milk (or a handful of almonds and a cup of water) 
3 ice cubes

Blend until smooth.
Pour into awesome glasses.
Enjoy.
