Chia Seeds

Is this the next best "Superfood"?

Superfoods -- To me… These are just food that are packed with a really high nutrient content.

When I started looking into Chia Seeds, I was shocked by the incredible amount of benefits and nutritional value they have.

Our mascot, Mickey the Monkey, tried the Chia seeds. The first time we gave them to him, we had put them into a green smoothie and he didn't even know they were in there. Chia seeds have no taste. When soaked in water (this is how you prepare them) they become stuck together in a gel-like substance.

We also gave them to Mickey to taste on their own. Again… there was no taste, but you may only want to sip this "gel" as it's retie thick. Some people like to eat them on a spoon, others sup them throughout the day, some in smoothies… They can be used to bake… SO many wonderful ways to consume Chia seeds.

After Mickey had Chia seeds for the first time, he wondered what the benefit is to him…

Chia seeds may help with

• fat loss
• balance blood sugar levels
• cravings
• increased energy levels
• increased hydration levels

How do they work?

Simple…

Chia seeds are actually a complete protein. This means that you will get all the amino acids you need as if you are chomping into an egg. Having this in your diet will help keep your sugar levels balance… Meaning, no crashes of energy in the middle of the day.

It also has an insanely high amount of vitamins and minerals… More than you would get out of milk, bananas, and broccoli. It even has more omega 3 oil than salmon (or oily fish).

Having these vitamins and minerals means that your body will have what he needs to live so it won't crave things just to get the nutrients from it.

What does all that mean to you?

If your body can function properly because it's loaded with proteins, vitamins and minerals… You may eat less, because of less cravings and you may start to see an increase in your overall energy, and even happiness.

The reason we pick Chia seeds over many of the other "superfoods", is that there is no sugar content. The other ones do.

For the cost of Chia seeds, you'd be crazy not to use this power packed resource as an added bonus to your day, everyday!
