Chia seeds. Yes, I know what you're thinking because I was thinking it, too! Those Ch-ch-ch-chia seeds?! Apparently, they're not just for growing creepy green hair on planters resembling the President... They're actually quite healthy for you!
You can read all about them here, but put simply, chia seeds are high in fiber, Omega 3's, protein, antioxidants and are considered an Aztec Superfood. I've also been told that these seeds are relatively tasteless, so you can add them to cereals, baked goods, smoothies and more without even noticing them.
If you're as intrigued as I am (or maybe you've been a fan of these super seeds for awhile now), you can buy a 16 oz. bag of organic chia seeds from Vitacost for only $4.99! Here's how:
1) Sign up here first for the $10 Vitacost credit.
2) Once you've created your account, you'll see this message:
3) Your $10 promotional code will be emailed to you, in about 10-15 minutes. Now, you're ready to shop!
4) Head over to Vitacost (or shop through Ebates for 4% cash back) and search for "Navitas Chia Seeds". The 16 oz. bag of organic chia seeds is only $9.69, so FREE after the $10 credit! You'll only pay $4.99 total for the shipping, which is significantly cheaper than the $12+ normal shelf price.
I think the first recipe I'm going to try is this Chia Seed Pudding (scroll down), which sounds perfect for my dairy-allergic son. If you have any chia seed recipes or tips for this newbie, I'd love to hear them!
