I wanted to create a Mother’s Day recipe that was easy enough to make that the little ones can help out. I added homemade granola and fresh berries but you can add mom’s favourite fruit. What better way to show mom how special she is than a homemade breakfast. I love how excited my girls are to give me homemade gifts followed by breakfast.  I am truly blessed that both my girls love to help out in the kitchen. There is no other way I would want to spend my day.

This Chia pudding reminds me of my mom’s rice pudding but a healthier version. Chia seeds might be little but are packed with nutritional benefits. Did you know these little seeds are the only food to have a medical patent for blood glucose control. Chia seeds are high in fibre, protein, and anti inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds can be used in cereals, smoothies, yogurts, puddings, and as an egg substitute. Who ever knew a little seed could deliver such a major nutrition punch.

We hope mom enjoy’s this simple, satisfying, and delicious breakfast.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mama’s and mama’s to be.
