Chia Pudding Recipe 4 Ways, Chia Seeds For Weight Loss
What are chia seeds?
Salvia hispanica, or the chia plant, is a species in the mint family that is native to Central America. The seeds of this herb are known as “chia seeds” and they have gained quite a bit of popularity in recent years.
What Are the Health Benefits of Chia Seeds? Chia is gluten/grain free naturally, and a single serving is reported to have:
as much calcium as a glass of milk
more Omega-3s than a serving of walnuts
as many antioxidants as blueberries.
They give you tons of energy but also won’t keep you awake at night and are supposed to be great for weight loss. Because they can absorb many times their
size/weight in liquid, they are great for avoiding dehydration during exercise or exposure to heat.
