About this Recipe

By: Wilna Eksteen

Chia seeds contain 85 – 93% insoluble fiber. This is fermented in the gut to promote short-chain fatty acids which improves colon health. Fibre slows down glucose absorption and keeps you fuller for longer. Caffeine has multiple potential health benefits, the most well-known benefit being the “pick-me-up” effect it has. With this recipe you can offer a ‘pick-me-up’ for both your brain and gut in one easy and delicious dish.

Adopting small habits when cooking can be the difference between an ordinary tasty meal and an extraordinary and deliciously nutritious dish.
