Remember the black-and-white layered puddings cups of your childhood? This impressive chia pudding recipe by Melissa Parke Rousseau of M.Parke Studio is a major upgrade to your former lunch box staple: it's jam-packed with some of our favorite superfoods de jour, like mood-enhancing matcha, digestive-aiding ashitaba, and hormoning-supporting pine pollen. Is it too much to say this pudding is a solution to all the things? Because it kind of is. Here's Melissa with a few notes on the recipe that puts that '90s "snack pack" to shame... It's 95 degrees. It's muggy. It's slow-moving, slow-living time. I keep my food simple, clean, on the cooler side and mostly raw during these steamy months. Whenever I get that craving for old-school tapioca, I now turn to chia puddings - and just for this late summer heat, add in some of my favorite superfoods and tonic herbs to up its healing powers. I added matcha green tea for its high fiber content, to boost metabolism, to help with detoxification, to calm and enhance my mood and to help fight viruses and bacteria. I combined that with some ashitaba, a wonderful source of B12, a skin nourisher, digestive tonic and spirit lifter. To finish it off, I added my favorite strawberry glaze - with a touch of hormone-supporting and liver-detoxifying pine pollen.
