Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia!



One of my favorite seeds - CHIA SEEDS!
It is an ancient Aztec seed. They were carried and used on long treks to help stay
hydrated. They were so coveted they were once used as currency.

They are small like poppy seeds.
They have a crunchy but light and nutty taste.
You can purchase them in most health food stores or the
health food section of your grocery store!
Unlike flax seed they do not need to be ground to achieve the best benefits.


Benefits of Chia Seeds

hydration

controlled sugar levels

high protein

high omega 3 & 6 levels

high minerals levels

gluten-free

high fiber

I sprinkle them on salads, yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies...
well just about anywhere.
I use them everyday!
