Chia SEEDS<br />
These little seeds are jam-packed with nutrients<br />
such as vitamin C and iron. They’re also high in<br />
protein and fibre and great for hydration. What’s<br />
more is they actually contain more Omega 3<br />
than salmon! Just 20g a day is enough to reap<br />
the benefits and they can be added to pretty<br />
much anything. We’ve listed three quick and<br />
easy ways to get your daily fix:<br />

MIGHTY<br />
Chia SEED<br />
Sprinkle on<br />
your porridge<br />
We like using chunky oats with<br />
a nut milk such as coconut<br />
or almond. Simply stir in 2-3<br />
teaspoons of chia seeds and top<br />
with chopped nuts and seeds of<br />
your choice. We suggest pumpkin,<br />
sunflower and flax seeds!<br />
Add to your<br />
morning smoothie<br />
Our favourite is banana with nut<br />
milk and a wholesome nut butter.<br />
Almond butter will provide a good<br />
source of ‘healthy’ fat as well as<br />
balance blood sugar levels.<br />
MAKE CHIA PUDDING<br />
Add 4 teaspoons of chia seeds<br />
to natural Greek yoghurt, drizzle<br />
with honey or agave nectar and<br />
top with fresh berries such as<br />
raspberries and blueberries. It<br />
makes a great breakfast if made<br />
the night before too!<br />
