One thing I love about summer is the fresh blueberries. When I was sent this recipe by Blueberries NZ, I thought it was too good not to post! This could be both a breakfast or a dessert recipe. With Chia seeds, it’s a great source of fibre and omega 3 fats. Bananas provide a source of carbohydrate and potassium and blueberries are a fantastic source of antioxidants, as well as providing vitamin C and vitamin B6.
I haven’t tried it yet myself, but i’m going to this weekend. If you try it before then, do let me know what it’s like.

For the chia pudding:
• 1 tbsp chia seeds

For the Banana icecream:
• 2 frozen bananas
• 1/2 cup coconut water

roasted cashews

INSTRUCTIONS:

fridge overnight or let sit for at least 30 minutes.
