Here’s a tropical twist on your regular chia seed pudding. The best thing about this pudding is that you can make a batch ahead of time and then keep them ready-to-grab, perfectly pre-portioned breakfasts or snacks throughout the week. The coconut milk adds a rich flavour not to mention some healthy fats that will keep you feeling full longer. I love to switch up the fruits toppings (based on whatever I have on hand), but mango and coconut just go so well together. Ingredients (amounts per 1 serving) 1 ½ cups Coconut Milk 2 tbsp Chia Seeds 1 tsp Maple Syrup ½ tsp Vanilla ¼ tsp Cinnamon Fruit to top (here I used mango, peach and blueberries) Shredded Coconut Toasted...

Not only is it a time to abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset, but it’s also a time to recharge and reassess our faith.
