Happy Tuesday. I’m in love!…with chia seeds. I’m in love with how easy it is to get these nutritious seeds into my bod. I remember being on vacation and needing something ‘healthy’ to drink. (You know, sometimes vacation food can feel like….YUK! As in, ‘I need some good homemade REAL food’) Well, that day I bought my first chia seed ‘health-drink’ and it was kind of weird – the texture was different. It cost a pretty penny. And the taste was, eh…ok. But my homemade chia drink…I think is delicious. I am now used to the texture and love that making this drink is so easy. Basically all you do is soak the chia seeds overnight then add them to cran-grape juice (or juice of your choice) in the a.m. Yum! It waters down the grape juice, which is good, because it has too much sugar anyway. Win-win!
Chia seeds have more omega 3’s than salmon, more potassium than bananas, more calcium than milk, and are loaded with antioxidants. They’re a complete protein. Nice!
Have a great day! Do or drink something NEW!

I’ve actually tried this! I was at my book club and one of my friends served us cranberry with chia seeds. I was surprised at how tasty it was because the texture definitely takes some getting used to. I forgot about it until I saw your picture. Where did you get the chia seeds?

I really don’t remember where I bought them…it is a good-sized bag that has lasted me a very, very long time! I think you can get them just about anywhere… I’ve even seen them in Walmart!

Wow I thought I would have to go to a health food store! Good to know. Now if I could get my house of men to drink it!

Interesting! How much do you put into your drink? They are also known for making you feel full… do they? I like that they are so full of calcium…and potassium!

They possibly make you feel full longer, but I haven’t noticed a huge difference. I put about 2 tablespoons in a glass of water overnight (in the refrigerator), then drain some of the water off in the morning before adding it to my juice. I don’t really measure anything though. Let me know if you try it! Take care.
