Why Chia Seeds are a Breakfast Superhero
Chia seeds are nutritional powerhouses, offering a wide range of health benefits. Just one ounce delivers:
- High Fiber: 11 grams for digestive health and feeling full longer.
- Protein Rich: 4 grams to support muscle building and repair.
- Calcium Boost: More calcium than a glass of milk for strong bones.
- Antioxidant Power: Protects against chronic diseases.
Many dieticians even suggest chia seeds aid in weight loss. They absorb liquid and expand in your stomach, promoting satiety and reducing cravings.
Beyond Breakfast: Chia Seeds as an Energy Booster
My girlfriend uses chia seeds to make a DIY energy gel. She mixes them with water, refrigerates overnight, and then adds the gel to her smoothies for an extra boost.
