 First, add the chia seeds, almond milk, agave syrup, cinnamon, cocoa powder (optional, if you want to make it chocolate-y).  Whisk together, then put the bowl in the fridge, soak for at least 2 hours to overnight. It's great to do this step the night before, and it can also last in the fridge for a couple of days!


Once your pudding is ready, add your choice of fruit.


Bananas...


Strawberries... (Personal preference)


Sprinkle some coconut flakes! 


Add granola clusters!


One thing, if you are vegan and buying granola clusters from a store, double check the ingredients, or you can also make it yourself. (Hm, an idea for a new future recipe)


These clusters are the best if you want to have something crunchy!


Add some flax for more goodness all in one bowl. Flax is a great source of Omega-3, fiber and protein.

  9. Women can also join spa where they will be properly dealt with. But, one should bear in mind that secret of beauty is also sound health. Thus, beauty is directly proportional to one's health. Paul christopher
