Super foods like Chia Seeds are nutrient dense foods that add a powerful punch to any dish! Legend has it that the Aztecs and Mayans used chia seeds to fuel performance. In Christopher McDougall’s book “Born To Run” he tells of a hidden tribe of super athletes called the Tarahumara who honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest OR injury. They fuel themselves with Chia Seeds. A one ounce serving of this mild tasting wonder contains…
adding them to soups and sauces easy to do without changing the flavor. When mixed with water or other liquids they become a sticky gelatinous ball the consistency of tapioca. Adding chia seeds to recipes will dramatically boost the nutritional value. Add a spoonful to your oatmeal, green smoothies, coconut milk, salads, cereal, yogurt, vegetables or rice dishes.

Chia seeds are incredibly easy to incorporate into your diet. Their taste is very mild which makes adding them to soups and sauces easy to do without changing the flavor. When mixed with water or other liquids they become a sticky gelatinous ball the consistency of tapioca. Adding chia seeds to recipes will dramatically boost the nutritional value. Add a spoonful to your oatmeal, green smoothies, coconut milk, salads, cereal, yogurt, vegetables or rice dishes.
My favorite way to incorporate chia seeds is to add ¼ cup seeds to 1 cup of coconut milk.Refrigerate it in a glass jar for 2 or more hours. This makes chia seed pudding! Add your favorite fruit (banana and berries) and enjoy as a dessert or snack! Wowzer!
