Spring is here again! I mean, kind of, technically. We woke up this morning to a fresh layer of SNOW and a balmy -14 temperature. I have to laugh because it feels like Groundhog day every single Spring. With Spring here I am in the mood for all things green. St Patty’s Day just passed (did you see my green pancakes??) where everything and anything becomes greenified and I for one, am here for it!

Chia pudding is one of my favourite breakfasts. It is one of the first things I learned to make going vegan. It took me some time to learn how to get the consistency right but now it turns out perfect every, single time! I turn my puddings all sorts of colours. Adding a superfood powder to the mix is deliciously easy and dare I say the smartest thing to do, it adds a nutritional punch and makes the end result delightfully pretty to look at and photograph.

Let’s make some GREEN CHIA!
