Fabulous Finds: Trader Joe's Chia Seeds

Would you love to stay full during the day? Hate being hungry? ME TOO! It is so important to meet your daily fiber requirements not only to avoid issues, but to also feel full in between meals. A few years ago I found a great ally that has become a daily staple in my current diet - CHIA SEEDS.

 

If your unfamiliar with chia seeds, they are power seed that is full of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and protein. In just one tablespoon of chia seeds, you get six grams of fiber, three grams of protein and almost three grams of Omega-3 fatty acids. Great right? What's even better about chia seeds is you can add them to almost any food! Add chia seeds to yogurt, baked goods, salads, smoothies, stir fry, rice, dips and much more! Chia seeds are tasteless so sky's the limit! The only limitation to chia seeds is the recommended daily serving of chia seeds is 15 grams/1 tablespoon.
