Tropical Chia Pudding - 3 ways


Lets kick off the week with a healthy, summery and tropical recipe : Chia seeds pudding.
Chia seeds are some of the healthiest seeds around, rich in omega 3 fatty acids, manganese & fibre amongst many others, they are acclaimed for their many health benefits including helping to lower risk of heart disease as well as good for helping with weight loss. 
For my Chia tropical pudding, add coconut water to the dry seeds and once they have doubled in volume and have reached a thick consistency, sprinkle with your favorite fruits, in this recipe I used mango, dried coconut flakes, dragon fruit, banana and raspberries.

Enjoy!!!

Ceviche London



I've been in Europe since a month now and WOW does it feel good to be home!!!
Our travels have taken us to visit our families between Switzerland, Monaco and Italy, we attended a beautiful wedding in Villa D'Este on the lake of Como and we are currently in London before I head off to a surprise bachelorette party next weekend :) (Click here for travel pics)
For those who have been following my blog for a while, you probably know that London is like my second home, I lived here for 7 years and did all my University studies here back in the days, so I always love coming back and exploring all the new entries London town has to offer.
My love for raw food brought us to a cozy Peruvian restaurant nestled in the heart of Soho called CEVICHE.
