Get Superfood Chia Seeds in Your Daily Diet

You've seen ads for the infamous chia pets but did you know that chia seeds are also a nutritional superfood food containing heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, muscle building protein, antioxidants, B vitamins and calcium? In fact, chia seeds are made of 60% omega 3 fatty acids.

Chia seeds in your diet are great for promoting weight loss, bone and digestive health,  and improving heart health and diabetes too. It's easy to get these nutritional powerhouses into your diet every day. One serving is just 1/4 teaspoon daily. Add them to yogurt, cereals, stir fry, smoothies and just about anything you eat.

Learn to make chia gel too. Simply add 9 parts water to one part chia seed, shake thoroughly to prevent clumping and then add to smoothies or other recipes. Store unused chia gel in your frig.

One easy way to get chia seeds into your daily diet is to make healthy Shakeology shakes a part of your healthy living program. Shakeology contains chia seeds, as well as other superfood ingredients like gogi berries, Acai berry, pomegranate, spirulina, blue green algae, wheatgrass and much more. Seventy nutrients in all!
