Who knew? Who knew that one day the plant pets that we know & love so much, would one day be such a powerful nutritional resource. So as you can see I picked up a bag from Trader Joe's & it cost around $4 something.
I started incorporating them in my diet by throwing the seeds in my eggs and other random dishes like lentils. Then I decided to do the "porridge" recipe. I don't know if it really constitutes being a porridge but that's what I like to call it. I just soaked some seeds in almond milk for about 30ish minutes and it started to become gel-like. I didn't add any spices or sugar and it was surprisingly good. Next time I'll add some fruit but its a good base to add almost anything to. Loving it!
I'm transitioning to a more plant based diet and Chia seeds are a great source of protein, containing 3grams per tbsp. They also provides 2.9g of Omega-3 fatty acids and 6g of fiber. Studies are also being done to determine the potential of using chia seeds to treat type 2 diabetes. Good stuff.
Enjoy!
