CHIA MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER

You already know how substantial Omega-3s are...they're anti-inflammatory and are abundant in gut, brain, and heart health to name a few. Categorized as a common known Omega-3, Chia seeds are a popular pick for those who eschew fish. Brimming with fiber and antioxidants, these magical seeds serve as an excellent source of plant-based protein. With that in mind, chia seeds shouldn't be limited to mere 'sprinkles' atop smoothies! Ahead are five inventive ways to add this health staple into your eating regimen.

1. ADD IT TO KOMBUCHA

Simply include a tablespoon of chia seeds to a bottle of gut-friendly kombucha. A quick and easy way for an early morning boost.

2. PAIR IT WITH PLANT MILK

Two tablespoons yields a whopping six grams of protein, essentially making the total protein content nearly that of cow's pus (milk, I mean). Plus, it adds ten grams of digestion-friendly fiber!

3. MAKE A BOWL

Stir in a couple of tablespoons into almond, coconut, or any kind of plant-based yogurt along with mashed fresh fruit for an extra thick consistency.

4. USE IT TO ELEVATE OATMEAL

Chia is a fantastic way to develop a rich, thick texture for overnight oats.

5. FOR IN LIEU OF FLOUR

Berry Crisp and/or Berry Crumble is traditionally tossed with flour prior to baking for the pie filling consistency. Although, swapping flour for chia seeds not only adds a nutritional boost, it's also a mindfully healthful switch for gluten intolerant individuals.
