Why choose between an antioxidant-packed acai bowl and a nutrient-dense chia pudding when you can have both? The acai berries will help your skin and hair look fresh and healthy and the chia seeds will help keep you full until lunch. This bowl tastes great topped with just about anything, but we particularly love a mix of seasonal fruits and a little toasted coconut for crunch.

2 tablespoons chia seeds
150ml almond milk
½ banana (fresh or frozen)
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 Medjool date, pit removed
1 frozen acai pack
