Derived from the ancient Mayan word, 'Chia' means strength; a name rightfully given as these little seeds are a powerhouse of energy. One of nature's best sources of fibre and micronutrients, Chia Seeds may be a simple superfood but they pack a strong nutritional punch. A tablespoon incorporated into your diet every day can help lose weight, regulate blood sugar, and even provide essential vitamins and minerals needed for one's well being.
How to include Chia Seeds into your routine?
- Blend: Add 1 tablespoon Chia seeds into your blender along with your smoothie ingredients for a much needed nutritional boost and luscious thick texture.
