After work, I dashed to an eyelash appointment to have them refilled. Ugh…why couldn’t I have beautiful long, full lashes that my kids have. Upkeep at 40 is so much more work than it was when I was 20, that’s a post for another day. Before making dinner I was craving dessert so I prepped a quick banana chia seed pudding. ‘Chia’ is the ancient Mayan word for strength and is a superfood full of omega 3’s, protein, fiber and antioxidants.
Since I was out of almond milk, I made a vanilla chai as the liquid for this recipe.
