These seeds are perfect to use in just about anything for an added crunch! We love them in baked goods, smoothies, sprinkled on top of yogurt, cereal, fruit and salads. And unlike flax seeds, there's no need to grind them first. Enjoy them just as they are. Easy, right?
Here's 5 reasons to Love Your Body with Chia….
♥ A rich source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids, chia seeds give you the necessary nutrients for gorgeous hair, healthy nails, and smooth, glowing skin! Beauty starts on the inside ;)
♥ Chia seeds are one of the highest plant based sources of protein you can find. Protein is an essential macro-nutrient needed for almost every function in your body. It helps with weight loss and is a must for building lean muscle. Make those BootyCall sweat sessions work for you!
♥ They're a great source of fiber. This helps keep you feeling full, controlling hunger and balancing your appetite. It also means less sneaky snack attacks. Fiber helps regulate your system, which will contribute to detoxing! A great choice after a party or fun night out.
♥ High in magnesium, potassium and calcium! These essential nutrients keep your body healthy and energized for your Tone It Up workouts, and who doesn't want more energy?
♥ The coolest thing about Chia seeds? They have the ability to absorb 10 times their weight in liquid, creating a unique gel that is incredibly hydrating and satisfying! Use chia seeds to make a vegan pudding or add some thickness to your smoothies. Have your tried your Morning Buzz Smoothie yet?
