They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not get a healthy start with this blackberry chia breakfast bowl. From Jill of A Better Happier St. Sebastian and featured on the Free People blog, the recipe contains ingredients like almond milk (or another non-dairy milk), banana, bee pollen, blackberries, chia seeds, greek yogurt and honey.

Chia seeds are an excellent source of protein, healthy Omega-3 fatty acids and calcium and also have anti-inflammatory properties. Greek yogurt is full of protein too, while the banana and bee pollen give you an energy boost. Blackberries are rich in vitamin C and have one of the highest antioxidant content of all fruits. Honey is anti-bacterial and sweetens naturally.
