The best way to dress up a bland looking food? Add color. The best way to add color? Add fruit. And if you’re going to add fruit, you might as well add a lot of fruit. That’s the approach this recipe took to make some otherwise plain looking chia seed pudding appear spectacular. Nothing like a little fresh papaya to make a dish pop. Plus, the pudding is topped with bananas, coconut flakes, and cacao, so the flavor is definitely on point. Give it a try, and let us know what you think.
