Chia crazy !

I have to share how much I love chia ! I did a healthy food demo for the women at my church this week and brought along my chia seeds , and as promised , here's the 411 on why I love them so !
-chia seeds have long been consumed in Native American and Latin cultures .
- Chia seeds have lots of blood-building iron
-Chia seeds have protein !
-Chia seeds are also a source of calcium .
- They are a great source of omega 3 and omega 6 , just like salmon .
- Plus they are loaded with fiber !
If that doesn't catch your attention , they are considered a natural energy enhancer .
I like chia in my oatmeal or in a smoothie , I also love chia pudding and adore a Chia Fresca on warm days ! My recipes :
Mary's Chia Fresca
Glass of cold water , 8-10 oz
2 teas. Chia seeds
Juice of lime or lemon , or both !
Honey , or agave to sweeten , combine and then refrigerate about 15 mins allowing the chia to blend with the other ingredients , it will "gel " out . Enjoy !
Mary's chia pudding
1/4 cup chia
1/2 coconut milk
2 tablespoon honey , adjust to taste
Make it your own ! Add vanilla , puréed mango , cocoa powder , coconut .
Combine and refrigerate a couple hours . So good !
