Eleven ways I get Chia Seeds into our diets

The amazing chia seed.

The Chia Seed is an amazing food. I cannot begin to tell you how downright nutritious it is! So I won't! But HERE is a link that will tell you all about them and probably even convince you to run out and purchase some for your family. Here are 10 ways in which I use them. I'm sure there are many more ways you can find because it's all about imagination.

Today I chose to put them into juice. I could purchase truck loads of the real thing as shown below but that's not gonna happen! It is far cheaper and just as healthy to put them into juice as I have chose to do today!

You could put them into your homemade kombucha quite easily enough!

I took some empty kombucha and kevita jars (which works great by the way), used a funnel to place 4 TB. Chia Seed into each, then I filled with the juice. They will sit in my fridge for several hours to overnight depending on how crunchy a child decides they want the seeds. That's it. And you will get amazing benefits from this simple mixture.
