Chia Seeds Benefits

Breakfast: Bowl of oatmeal using oat milk.
Lunch: Green smoothie (my typical recipe is large bunch of baby spinach, a couple of kale leaves, two oranges, half a cup of mixed berries, tablespoon of flaxseed meal, teaspoon of chia seeds, teaspoon of nori flakes, three tablespoons of spirulina and two cups of water).
Dinner: BIG bowl of salad (baby spinach, onion, orange, lemon juice, avocado oil)

Is that a well balanced diet? I’ve been eating this way for a week.
I’m trying to make a shift from my previous diet… SEE HERE: http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqXS7tc89jj_hiPMTKEhU8Dh5gt.;_ylv=3?qid=20090724084330AAyMrYh
I don’t eat fish, I’m a vegan…
1. I am trying to lose a lot of weight.
2. I’m thinking seriously about taking a B12 supplement soon and I’ve found an organic mineral supplement high in calcium I’m starting Monday.

3. I live in Australia and it’s winter here.
I can’t eat protein at night, it keeps me up later. I’ve already got sleeping problems (it’s 1.07 AM here).
But… I could probably add protein in the middle of the day.

The things you are eating are very healthy, but you need a variety of foods. Change it up every day. As far as adding protein, you may want to add some nuts to your salad or just have nuts on the side for lunch.

Make sure that your calcium supplement is soluable calcium. Calcium needs vitamin D for absorption either from the sun or supplement. B-12 is a good choice if you are not eating any meat or dairy products.

If you are having sleeping problems, try eating a small carbohydrate snack before retiring. The carbohydrates should help you relax and fall asleep. Hunger can also interfere with sleep.

I am trying to find a business that sells the chia seed in jonesboro GA or surrounding areas. I called a few herb shops and they dont carry them. It has many great benefits and I am eager to get it!!

Go to www.chiastore.com to buy, we ship all over the country

I make a shake yesterday morning, I used ground raw cacao and goji berries. then added soy milk and a bit of organic cranberry juice. a scoop of greens+ and a few frozen organic strawberries and a drop of honey. It was good! Got any ideas of what else I could throw in there? I thought flax and chia seeds, essential oils, chlorophyll (for detox)
Ive got my hands on everything natural. Looking for something right now that might fight off a flu. Also why wheat germ?! Any ideas or recipes for my smoothies would be awsome! Thanks!!

I do pediasure and ice cream with a bit of extra chocolate syrup. That’s probably not what you’re looking for but it’s still good.

They are so godly… they are an Aztec superfood that are so high in protein, fiber, magnesium calcium, OMEGA 3, ETC!!! I fell in love after I read about the health benefits and how nutrient and vitamin-dense these things are… they compete with goji berries for the title of most godly food on the planet. Omg <3!!!!
THEY ARE EVEN HIGH IN IRON.

SO HERE’S THE TALLY:

SUPER HIGH IN IRON
SUPER HIGH IN PROTEIN
SUPER HIGH IN CALCIUM
SUPER HIGH IN OMEGA 3.

THERE GOES THE MYTH THAT VEGAN FOODS ARE LACKING IN THE ABOVE.

I WANT TO MARRY CHIA SEEDS.

Just keep in mind that if the marriage doesn’t work out, it’s hard to find a lawyer that will handle a Chia seed divorce.

it’s for a recipe where i need to put them with tahini..

What is the recipe for, exactly?

Funny, today was the first time I had whole flaxseed (usually I had powdered), but it seems more of a sesame sub instead of a sunflower sub. But I can see how it would be.

I think it should work.

I was happy to read that chia seeds contain heart healthy omega 3 and omega 6 plus other good stuff, because I don’t eat much fish and I find flaxseed not to my liking. But I need the heart healthy oils because it helps my HDL cholesterol. So, I bought some Chia Pure brand chia seeds and to my pleasant surprise, they don’t have much of a taste when I mix them with any food. The taste, for me, is very mild. The seeds are tiny so you don’t really chew many of them eating them this way, which leads me to wonder: would I get more benefit from grinding the seeds? I have read various opinions online, and most say that grinding doesn’t make much of a difference with this type of seed, but it makes a big difference with other seeds such as flax. Any knowledge or opinions? Thanks.

however you like it works jst fine, jst don’t intoxicate yourself

Enjoy this raw vegan recipe as dessert or breakfast (shhh, we won’t tell). Packed with pure ingredients for energy and health, including chia seeds and coconut water, you’ll love this tapioca-like pudding. The shredded coconut on top is optional; it can be stirred into the pudding as well. Try your own variations, with added fruit, nuts, a dollop of yogurt.
