High in nutrition and low in calorie, chia seeds are a great superfood to add to your diet.
- They are a nutrition powerhouse.
Chia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which fights inflammation throughout the body and improves your cognition. They are also super high in antioxidants that boost your immunity and prevent premature signs of aging (i.e. wrinkles)
- They boost your heart health.
Chia seeds are high in fiber, which works wonders for your heart health. Fiber has a double duty effect by lowering your “bad” cholesterol level(LDL), while increasing your “good” cholesterol (HDL), making them a total rock star at helping to prevent heart disease.
- They help keep your weight in check
2 Tablespoons of these guys gives you 5grams of protein, which packs a punch for such a small amount. Their high protein and fiber combination helps keep you feeling feel and satisfied so you don’t overeat or over snack throughout the day.
Add them to your:
- Avocado toast
- Greek yogurt
- Oatmeal
- Smoothies
- Salads
- Soups
- Or make your own chia pudding!
