Hey Bloggies,
Just wanted to share a quick few pics because I have to get to beddy-bye soon. I work at the Farmer’s Market and have to be to the coffee catering office at SIX IN THE MORNING. 🙂
I have been wanting to try chia seeds in my foods because I am seeing them in a lot of healthy foodie recipes nowdays.
My thoughtful BF remembered this *aww* and got me a bag! Since there are no nutrition facts on the bag, I decided to do a little google research on these guys.
The Benefits of Chia Seeds
- Full of Omega-3 Fatty acids (beneficial to your “good” cholesterol therefore good for the heart)
- High in protein and dietary fiber
- High in antioxidants
- These seeds have the ability to inhibit the speed of carbohydrates being turned into sugar so these are beneficial to diabetics
- Have an amazing ability to hold water, therefore prolonging hydration
I decided to put some in my oatmeal along with some peanutbutter.
The BF also got me some local honey (from where he was staying for work for THREE WEEKS) because he knew I was out. *aww*
I’m used to the kind of honey you squirt out or pour, so this time I had to spoon it into my night tea. |
Had my bedtime tea with a little snack…Chocolate Crinkle Cookies with peanutbutter on top. Pop in the microwave 10 seconds…delightful! |
Okay bedtime for this girl!
Have you ever used Chia Seeds before? What do you put them in?
Goodnight friends,
