Chia Seeds

Breakfast this morning:

Yogurt with blueberries, banana and chia seeds

Chia is an ancient superseed, high in protein, fiber, Omega 3 and B12 – good alternative for vegetarians and vegans. It’s also gluten and dairy free, perfect for those with food intolerances, or if you generally dislike eating fish. Its easy to use and very nutritious. Just sprinkle a teaspoon full on cereals, muesli, salads and desserts. It can also be added to smoothies, shakes and muffins (anything you want, really).

Always buy locally grown. In Australia, Lotus does an Australian grown Chia Blend. There is not much difference between the black and white chia seeds and the same can be said about the different brands. I love Lotus, and its cheaper than the others (well, at my local health food store it is).

Have fun experimenting with it.
