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.

Ingredients

2 tbsps Chia Seeds

1/4 cup warm water

1/4 tsp. Cardamom powder

3/4 cup or 200 gm Unsweetened Almond Milk

1/2 cup Raspberries

1 tbsp Slivered Almonds

1 tsp Almond Butter

Directions

Whisk together the chia seeds and warm water. Mix well and transfer to a jar, add the almond milk, cardamom and slivered almonds and soak overnight. Once the mixture thickens, transfer to a bowl, add raspberries and almond butter. Enjoy!
