I say Why Not Chia?
Chia seeds are rich in polyunsaturated fats, especially omega-3 fatty acids, which makes them one of the richest plant-based sources of these fatty acids. The omega-3s in chia seeds can help reduce inflammation, enhance cognitive performance and reduce high cholesterol.
Chia seeds have oodles of fiber (10 grasm in 2 tbsp.) and are associated with reducing inflammation, lowering cholesterol and regulating bowel function.
Chia seeds are chocked full of antioxidants that help protect the body from free radicals, aging and cancer. They last almost close to two years in a closed container with no refrigeration needed.
Minerals- Just Two tablespoons of chia seeds contain 18 percent of the daily recommended dose of calcium, 35 percent for phosphorus, 24 percent for magnesium and about 50 percent for manganese. They also help with weight loss as they help you feel satiated. Give Chia a chance folks, you won’t be sorry.

I have a recently gotten hooked on “HiMaiAnia Dark Chocolate Chia Seeds.- right up front I will admit that they are deliciously decadent and certainly chia is amazing without the added yumminess but if you want to get your chia nutritional fix And your dark chocolate fix- this is the ticket baby! I enjoy a little sprinkle over FAGE plain 2% yogurt with a few walnuts and a half banana. It is a great post workout meal with plenty of protein, essential recovery nutrients. You can find these little yummies on the website as well as lots of other goodness to enjoy.
