Green Juicie and Chia Seed “Pudding”

IMG_2229

This is a great breakfast packed with super foods which will help wake you up and get you through an action packed morning with a lot of chia power!
A juicie is what I like to call a mix between a juice and a smoothie, I normally make them when I want a smoothie but don’t want chunky bits of fibre, for instance when I’m using kale.
The chia “pudding” is packed full of goodness, chia seeds are a great source of protein, and a little goes a long way. Coconuts work wonders on your immune system with antiviral, anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, to name a few. And goji berries are again a great source of protein, Vitamin C, fibre, iron and antioxidants. You can replace the water with almond/soy/hemp milk if you like but since I used almond milk in the juicie I thought it may be too heavy to have in both.
