The One, The Only... The Chia Seed!!!

Chia are so tiny in size but they have so many super powers! Well, not super powers like super heroes, their powers are even better.  Chia seeds have been known to help for many things, such as weight loss, blood sugar balancing, diverticulitis prevention, craving prevention, among many other things.

Can you believe these tiny seeds are also a complete protein (do you see how tiny these seeds are, how can they possibly pack in so many benefits?!)  Unlike beans and most whole grain breads, Chia seeds don't need any other ingredient to become complete proteins.  They also have Omega-3 fatty acids, which make them perfect for vegetarians and vegans who do not eat fish.  And did I also mention that these babies have soluble and non-soluble fiber!  And chia seeds also make you look younger with their share of antioxidants and give you more energy!  Whoa, is there something chia seeds cannot do?! Well, they won't be able to rescue you from a villain, but they sure will rescue your health!

Here comes the big question... How does one, eat these seeds?  Well, you can put chia seeds pretty much anywhere you want! Salads, puddings, yogurts, breads, smoothies, breakfast scrambles, juices, sauces, you name it!  Chia seeds are flavorless, so they can be added to any food and they will not alter its taste.  Because they have soluble and non-soluble fiber, when chia seeds come in contact with liquids they will develop a gel-like outer layer, which can be great when added to yogurts, smoothies, juices and sauces!

Chia seeds are just simply amazing! The fact that they are so little in size but can do so many things for us is really astonishing !  Personally I just recently found out about chia seeds not so long ago, and I have been adding them to foods here and there and I have to say, these little seeds do what supplements on the market listed for insanely high prices claim to do.  And chia seeds are really affordable! There really is no excuse not to include chia seeds to your diet!  Try them out first to see for yourself!  Some grocery stores carry them in bulks so you can choose how much you want to start off with.  I hope you enjoy chia seeds as much as I do!

Thanks again for reading! I wish you all a wonderful day full of laughter, happiness, good health and good energy!
