Chia Seeds, these little guys are my latest obsession. I first heard about them looking at some healthy lifestyle blogs. People are mixing them in oatmeal, smoothies and even replacing some of the fat in baking recipes. They are supposedly the new flax seeds (only way better.)
I was intrigued. So I got some at my local health food store. I started my mixing them in my oatmeal in the morning. I tried replacing some chia gel in my muffins (pretty good.) And I started adding them to any meal that I can mix them in without it being weird (like my garbonzo bean salad which is my new favorite lunch)
Seriously? My energy level is through the roof. When I get home, I have the energy to chase after my 1 and a half year old son, and do the dishes, laundry and maybe exercise if I can find a window of time where the baby will sleep and J is home work at a reasonable time.
If you are looking for a natural energy enhancer that is safe and is full of omega 3s, protein and fiber give them a try. Seriously they are awesome.
