Mango, Maple and Coconut Chia Pudding

This fresh and light breakfast is not only high in protein and fibre to keep you satisfied throughout the morning but so tasty it will become a summer breakfast staple. Fruit and seeds are high in tryptophan, a compound that helps to make serotonin (our happy hormone) in the gut. A diet low in tryptophan is likely to impact melatonin and sleep! So eat and enjoy, sleep and be happy!
