Mango Pistachio Chia Breakfast Pudding

Because oatmeal is so passé.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t enjoy the repercussions of a fishy Omega-3 supplement.

Still, I do want to get the many health benefits that these Alpha Linolenic Acids are known for– namely cardiovascular and memory boosts. Thus, a little while ago, in a valiant effort to consume the Omega-3’s, I turned to the lauded chia seed, a superfood that has been increasingly popular in health stores today.

High in protein and fiber, chia seeds are often used in breakfast foods. However, it wasn’t until recently that I used them to make a breakfast pudding, which has now become a staple in my morning routine.

These already exotic feeling seeds are only taken to the next level with the addition of cardamom, pistachios, and raspberries, providing your taste buds with a delightful punch of eastern flavor.

This scrumptious recipe is a true sensory transportation.

Seriously, it’s magical in such a way that your mind and taste buds will journey far to New Delhi, whilst your body simply remains plopped in front of a breakfast table!
