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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chia-protein-pudding), 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.
