If you know me at all than you know I have a crazy deep passion for Chia Seeds. Without fail I have them everyday of my life, even when I'm on vacation I can't go unless I pack my Chia with me. There are very few other things I care more about than my vitamins and my chia (kidding... well maybe not). Often I have people ask me what the heck is in my drink? Chia Seeds look weird and definitely not appetizing, they're little black seeds but like they say great things come in small packages.
The benefits of eating/drinking chia are 100% endless.... when people ask me what makes them so good I could go on and on but to keep it simple I stick with a few of my favorite reasons. Their lipid profile is made of the omega-3 acids making them one of the richest plant-based sources of the omega-3. Loaded with fiber! 10 grams in 2 tablespoons, 1/3 of the daily recommended intake of fiber needed in your day. GLUTEN-FREE is another huge reason I love to tell people about them because gluten-free is HUGE in the market right now. Do you ever have a hard time feeling full? ya me too... Chia gives you a satiety feeling, the feeling of being full and satisfied. Feeling full helps lower your cravings between meals helping you not snack on junk all day long resulting in you consuming fewer calories in the day helping you lose weight. WHY would you not want all of these benefits I have no idea.
So you buy the chia but what do you do with it now? Most people don't exactly have the desire to grab a spoon and chow down on some crunchy black seeds. There are so many different ways to use them, add them to your drinks (maybe not water that might be gross) but even your crystal light or your tea. Mix them with greek yogurt, applesauce, pudding, oatmeal, cereal, protein shakes. You can bake with them! Chia seed cookies are my specialty! Bake them into your muffins even.
Yummy food doesn't need to be loaded with fat and sugar to make it taste good, even to the person who never considers eating healthy. Most health food stores sell Chia they aren't hard to find. They may seem pricey but you cant put a price on your health and wellness. I buy them in bulk at Good Earth or Costco sells them in bags. I only drink one tablespoon a day. You can spend $20 on your next few meals at McDonald's and feel fat and worse about yourself OR you can take that $20 and get the Chia that will offer you the better health and life you most definitely deserve! Your body is an AMAZING thing that does nothing but give to you, so give back to your body and better yourself.
