the health boost tip
This recipe can be made all year round with frozen berries and topped with any additional seasonal fruit. In addition to the fibre and vitamin rich fruits, adding chia seeds provides an extra source of fibre, antioxidants and healthy omega 3 fats. Chia seeds have also been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels and lower blood pressure. Avoid having too many if you are on blood thinning drugs.
