Remember a few years ago when A\u00e7a\u00ed bowl was all the rage, everybody was posting their a\u00e7a\u00ed bowls on Instagram. The just like that it went away. I guess because it is hard to find and a bit pricey. Fortunately my local grocery store, Traders Joe\u2019s has really good quality frozen a\u00e7a\u00ed packets that are unsweetened and very convenient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved it so much I eat it couple times a week. Add it to my morning porridge or smoothie or make a chia pudding for snacking. I prefer eating a high fat breakfast for a few reasons. Firstly fat combined with complex carbs helps me keep satiated longer. It also provides sustained energy to keep going past lunch time. And what\u2019s better than having dessert for breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\u00e7a\u00ed is a berry from the Brazilian Amazon, very high in phytochemical, anthocyanin and antioxidants similar to blueberries. Combined with chia seeds it makes a super nutritious breadfast or even a dessert. This chia pudding is bit of a fancy one, it\u2019s got toasted seeds, banana slices caramelized in their natural sugars and topped with an amazing tahini. For this recipe I chose frozen unsweetened plain a\u00e7a\u00ed pur\u00e9e, use a\u00e7a\u00ed powder pur\u00e9e is not available in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
