I add chia seeds into pretty much everything… from smoothies, overnight oats, pancakes, and nice cream. These babies are mini powerhouses packing more calcium than milk, more antioxidants than blueberries and more Omega-3 than Salmon! #brainfood
Queue Chia Pet commercial jingle… “Ch-ch-ch-Chia!”
Mmmhmmm… these are the same CHIA seeds that magically sprout glorious green fur/hair/grassy-things on those terracotta figurines we all know and (sorta) love!
However, don’t start snacking on your Chia Pets just yet because apparently they’re not approved for consumption.
#awww #sadface
Alright, enough of that… ready to create some happiness?
