cha-cha-cha-chia! chia seeds is the ancient superfood of the aztecs

[dinkus mayhem]

they make a delish make ahead, no cook breakfast porridge. i just made a batch for the next few mornings.





1/4 cup rolled oats (not fast cook or instant)
1/3 cup skim milk
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1 1/2 tsp chia seeds
sweetener (i used 1 packet stevia in the raw an 1 tsp of maple syrup)

put in a half pint mason jar, put on lid, shake. open, add blueberries to top and reseal. put in fridge and eat in the morning.



Chia seeds:

• have more Omega 3 fatty acids than flax seed (important for heart health)
• are the richest non-marine whole food source of Omega-3 (better than salmon)
• absorb 10 times their weight in water and transform into a gel-like substance--great for athletes for maintaining hydration and helps with weight loss by making you feel full longer
• are as high in protein as quinoa
• are loaded with calcium, potassium, Vitamin B, and anti-oxidants
• help balance blood sugar via the gelling action of the seed and it’s unique combination of soluble and insoluble fiber that slow down your body’s conversion of starches into sugars
• have a neutral taste so they will take on the other flavors in a recipe
• can be eaten whole (unlike flax seed); they don't have to be ground before adding them to food in order to digest them and benefit from their nutrients
• have a two year shelf life, stored at room temperature (flax seeds quickly become rancid and loose their nutritional value)

they're the exact same little black, round chia seeds you get if you buy a chia pet.

215 calories
4g fat (mine has less (i think 0g fat) because i used no fat greek yogurt)
48g carbs
8g fiber
12g protein
