Healthy, because
Chia and flax seeds are small power packs that score points with plenty of vitamins, minerals and fibre. Raspberries protect the body's cells from damage by free radicals thanks to the antioxidants they contain in abundance.
Even smarter
If fresh raspberries are not available at the moment, the fruit puree can also be made with defrosted frozen fruit. It becomes more exotic if you puree the pulp of a fully ripe mango instead of raspberries.
