WHAT MAKES CHIA SEEDS A SUPER FOOD?

The body needs essential fatty acids or EFAs, for the brain to function properly. And to produce testosterone. Since the body doesn’t produce EFAs on its own, adding them to our daily diet is crucial to good health. One of the most important EFAs that humans require is Omega-3. Omega-3 helps reduce inflammation, lower triglycerides, and lower blood pressure.

Chia seeds are a superior source of Omega-3 and Omega-6. Chia seeds are also a complete source of protein. They are loaded with fiber and also contain calcium, magnesium, and copper. Chia seeds absorb liquid and expand up to 16x their original size, making them a great natural thickening agent.

EASY CHIA SEED PUDDING RECIPE

1-1/2 cups unsweetened nut milk like cashew, almond, or coconut at 50 calories or less per cup + 1/4 cup chia seeds + 1 tablespoon, more or less, to sweeten to taste, of raw honey or pure maple syrup. Optional add 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut and/or 1 tablespoon of raw cacao powder {for chocolate pudding}. Mix all ingredients, pour into pudding cups, refrigerate until firm. Top with sliced fruit or fresh berries.
