Start your day right with this gut-loving chia pudding from Roberta Nelson.

Your digestive system is one of your biggest detoxification engines. It is also home to your body’s microbiome- a personalised community of bacteria that live off what you eat and drink. 

When fed the right food, your own army of good bacteria helps your body stay well by supporting your immune system, assisting in the breakdown of foods to get the most nutrition out of them and getting rid of toxins and inflammation. 

At different times your digestive environment can be thrown off kilter with alcohol, fatty foods, refined carbohydrates and sugar all having an impact on your digestive bacteria balance. 

Get your microbiome back on track by feeding it the right food starting with this breakfast. 

The chia seeds are loaded with soluble fibre which act as a prebiotic - a food that feeds the growth of your own beneficial bacteria. Prebiotics are an important part of maintaining a balanced microbiome after you have put all the good bacteria in via a probiotic. 

Once you’ve added the vitamin-C rich mango, fibre-rich dates, coconut which is full of healthy fats and antioxidant-rich lime zest, you have got yourself a breakfast that is gut-loving, nutritious and a beautiful way to start your day.
