Chia w/Raspberries & Almonds

Chia seeds are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, fibre, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Soaking these seeds preferably overnight or at least a couple of hours is advisable.

Once the seeds have been soaked, they become gelatinous increasing the water and earth elements. They have a cooling potency. Chia Seeds pacify Vata and Pitta, but aggravate Kapha. They are therefore great to hydrate, nourish and cool. Perfect for summer days.

2 tbsps Chia Seeds

1/4 cup warm water

1 tsp Almond Butter

Directions
