Cha Cha Cha Chia
. . . Not just for your ceramic animals anymore!
Chia is an annual herb that is grown commercially for it's seeds. Chia seeds are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, potassium, calcium and are a good form of protein and fiber. Chia sprouts are great in salads and on sandwiches. Chia seeds can be ground and used in baking or they are great plain and sprinkled over salads or put in granola or oatmeal!
Chia Oatmeal:
1 cup of cooked steel cut oats
1/2 cup warmed vanilla rice milk
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 sliced banana
2 tablespoons chia seeds
Mix and enjoy!
