These magical little seeds are AMAZING and sooo healthy!! They are full of nutrients, omega 3 fatty acids (Super important if you aren't eating meat or eggs). They have great sources of calcium, manganese, and phosphorus. They help with weight loss because they expand about 10 TIMES their original size. [~Put some in a cup of water when your hungry and drink it! They will expand in your stomach and you will feel satisfied again!~] When they sit in liquid, they absorb and expand into a gel. This gel helps with digestion, and allows the nutrients to soak into the digestive system! Chia also helps strengthen your teeth and bones and has fiber and protein! They are also great for Diabetics because they help stabilize blood sugar levels and insulin resistance... which also helps fight the belly fat!
You can make all sorts of chia puddings. this is one of my favorites but play around!
I have this for dessert sometimes and it lasts 2 separate meals. You will need:
3 tsp of Chia Seeds
1 cup of Almond Milk
1 scoop of Arbonne Chocolate protein Shake
1 tsp of raw cocao powder
4 drops of peppermint extract
2 tsp of unsweetened coconut
Put it in a sealable container (Or the blender or a shaker cup) and mix all together. Close the lid and shake (Or blend). Put it in the bowl you will eat it from and put it in the fridge for 1 hour. Once its hard like pudding, ENJOY!! So simple, so delish!
