Chia Seeds

What's filling, full of omega-3s, and takes on the taste of its surroundings? Chia! Sprinkle a spoon full of chia seeds into your smoothie for a good dose of fiber, protein, calcium, and those omega-3s. I often buy ground chia seeds and they mix up quite nicely into many flavors of smoothies.

If you want to add flax seed and chia to your shakes, there is a great flax seed and chia blend called Fitflax htTp://www.fitflax.com It's delicious, and a great source of omega-3s. Flax seeds are also a great weight loss food, high in fiber, protein and minerals. In the mornings, I'll add it to shakes or mix it into Greek yogurt and berries. Throughout the day I'll add it to salads or just eat it as a healthy filling snack.
