Oh hail the all mighty chia seed, this tiny, beautiful seed has so many benefits that you will wonder why you have not been eating them all this time. Ok, well as a runner this seed has many wonderful nutrients. In
two tablespoons of chia seeds it contains 10 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein, antioxidants, and Omega-3s with around only 130 calories. What more could you ask for??? This tiny seed is suppose to help your health, provide you with extra endurance, and keep you full longer. Now not all studies have proven this but I can tell you since starting to take or eat chia seeds, I have seen an improvement in my health and I grew a plant in my belly. Haha just kidding, no plants grown in my belly but you can grow one on the side if you want:) You can find these seeds at most grocery stores in the vitamin aisle and sometimes in the baking aisle.
A wonderful recipe I love to add chia seeds in is listed below. My sister gave me it from a site she found and I have fallen in love with them. It's delicious and nutritious! One added bonus, sometimes chia seeds get stuck in your teeth and pop out later for a fun little surprise in your mouth.
Try this wonderful recipe, in addition to it I like to add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to it. Vegan healthy chocolate date
