This little dessert looks impressive and it’s packed full of health-boosting ingredients. And perhaps the main one is the health food of the moment, chia seeds.
Chia seeds were prized by the Mayan and Aztec cultures and the word ‘chia’ actually translates as ‘strength’ in the Mayan language, as the little seeds were known for their energy-boosting abilities. They’re packed with healthy fats, fibre and minerals, making them a great immune system booster.
