Nutrition Tips:

• For a quick breakfast on treatment days, prepare this recipe the night before and divide into individual containers. This also makes a great snack between meals.
• Chia is high in fiber, which can help with constipation—a common side effect of many medications and certain chemotherapies. They are also rich in plant-based omega-3 fats, which are helpful for reducing inflammation in the body.
• Chemotherapy and radiation treatment can also cause nausea. Adding ginger and lemon to meals may help reduce nausea symptoms.
• Try sprinkling lemon zest on top for an extra zing of flavor!
