The other night he was so excited he was "huffing" the tea steam, and started rubbing his face against the mug so hard he spilled it EVERYWHERE. Cats are nuts!

In my food processor I blend a couple of fresh strawberries, about a half cup of frozen blueberries, a bit of water and 1-2 Tbs of chia seeds. Sometimes I add a bit of stevia too - depends on how sweet the berries are. I pour it into a bowl and pop it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
