Simple Mango Salsa

My mom and dad grew up in the Midwest, so they know what quality Mexican food is. I grew up eating fajitas, mom's famous guacamole, fajitas and so many more of Mexicos greatest meals. I have yet to find great Mexican food in New York City, so I have to improvise. My favorite thing about this recipe is that it's so fresh, and my second favorite thing is that it doesn't require any cooking and it's so so simple.

Simple Breakfast: Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia Seed Pudding

As a college student, I want to sleep in as long as possible. I have found that one way to make this happen is to have simple premade breakfasts ready to go in the morning. Not to mention, they need to be healthy so that you have enough energy to get through a day of class, work, endless reading, and studying.

For this healthy recipe, you combine all of the ingredients the night before, stick it in the fridge, and it will be ready when you wake up. Amazing.

Chia seeds may not be the most flavorful food, but they have many benefits for your health. Here are my top seven reasons for you to incorporate chia seeds into your diet:

1. They're loaded with antioxidants
2. High fiber, so hello smooth digestion
3. Protein, protein, protein
4. Contain Omega-3, yay for healthy fat
5. Great for bone health, thanks to calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and protein
6. Basically tasteless
7. When added to water they turn into a gel and can be used to replace ingredients, such as eggs

Ingredients:
-2 Heaping Tbsp of Chia Seeds
-1 C Almond Milk
-2 Tsp Coconut Sugar

Step 1: Combine all ingredients into a container and cover with a lid

Step 2: Place in fridge for at least 5 hours

Step 3: Top with your favorite fruit

Step 4: Enjoy!
