Chia Seed Superfood Health Benefits
Chia seeds were something I didn’t explore until 10 years ago. They looked too creepy to eat. I thought because they looked gross they would taste gross. Boy was I wrong! Chia seeds taste SO good, and even better have a plethora of health benefits. I’ll just scratch the surface for you.
Chia seeds are jam packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, antioxidants, and protein. This makes them a fun quick healthy addition to add to your morning protein shakes, oatmeal, baked goods, and my Lemon Chia Pudding 😉
