How can something so small be so beneficial for us? Chia seeds are an underrated super food that people should start adding to their diets.
First off, what are they? Chia seeds are edible seeds from a plant that’s found native in Mexico. They are very tiny but also packed with many nutrients and antioxidants. Fun fact: They were actually used for medical purposes as well. These seeds are very high in fiber, contain many antioxidants, and can help with chronic diseases.
Chia seeds can go in anything, from smoothies, oatmeal and yogurt. They can also be used to add a crunchy texture to what you’re making. I personally started to add them to my overnight oats which I highly recommend if you would like to try something new. Below is the recipe!
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 3/4 milk (I use oat)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp yogurt (I prefer vanilla but Ig plain is fine)
- 1/2 peach diced ( or whatever fruit you prefer)
Stir all together and leave over night.
Enjoy!
