Ever since I discovered Chia Pods years ago (which I don’t think are available in stores anymore), I’ve been hooked.  When I realized I could make my own for much cheaper, I started playing with different flavor combinations.  This one is my favorite.  Mixing winter flavors with summer fruit is an unexpectedly nice combination, but feel free to use any in-season produce you can get your hands on!
