Mother’s day is almost upon us! Have you planned anything special? breakfast, something sweet? If you need some ideas you have to come to the right place. Your mom is going to love this beautiful, delicious mango strawberry chia seed pudding. Chia pudding is so easy to make, even the little ones can help out. This mango strawberry chia seed pudding is perfect for breakfast, brunch, and/or dessert. Making mom a meal and/or dessert is a great way to show her how much you love and appreciate everything she does for you.
I am truly blessed that my girls love to help out in the kitchen. I am passionate about teaching my girls how to cook plus its a great opportunity to spend some quality time together even if things get a bit messy. This year we decided to enter the hands on cook off cooking contest by Better Together BC. I wanted to keep things simple and exciting at the sametime. The girls love Chia Seed Pudding and I love it because its healthy, easy to make and of course delicious. I love watching their excitement when its time to eat.

Chia pudding reminds me of my mom’s rice pudding but a healthier version. Chia seeds might be little but are packed with nutritional benefits. Did you know these little seeds are the only food to have a medical patent for blood glucose control. Chia seeds are high in fibre, protein, and anti inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds can be used in cereals, smoothies, yogurts, puddings, and as an egg substitute. Who ever knew a little seed could deliver such a major nutrition punch.
Happy Mother’s Day!
