Almond Joy Chia PuddingGetting back to normal

It’s been over a month since my surgery, but I’m still feeling some of its effects, like making weird mistakes, experiencing fatigue and low energy, and having digestive problems. Apparently, anesthesia puts the entire body to sleep, including the digestive system. My system didn’t want to wake back up, which is why I ended up in the hospital for longer than originally anticipated. My digestion is still not up to speed, so to speak, but I’ve ditched the medicines the doctors gave me in favor of more natural approaches. One of the things I’ve been trying is chia pudding, which is much, much tastier than the doctor recommended milk of magnesia.

Because of the combination of almonds and shredded coconut, this pudding had me singing, “sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t”, like in the old candy bar commercials, so I’ve decided to call it “Almond Joy.” I like making it in the evening right before going to bed and having it the morning for breakfast.
