Omega3 Chia: Ancient Seed - Powerful New Superfood
3000-year-old natural energy source of the Aztecs now available to you! Loaded with high-ORAC antioxidants and omega-3.
Salvia hispanica, also known as Chia (pronounced chee’ah), is the richest and only unprocessed, whole food source of pure Omega3. A member of the mint family, Chia is native to Central America and has been used traditionally for over 3000 years.
Ancient Aztec warriors prized Chia as an endurance promoting Superfood, eating it in bread just before battle and drinking it in water before running long distances on foot.
Mixed in lemonade or fruit juice (known as chia fresca) Omega3 Chia seed quickly becomes a refreshing, performance-enhancing energy drink.
Ingredients: 100% Chia seed (Salvia hispanica L.)
Directions:
Simply mix one scoop (15g) of Omega3 Chia seed with 8 oz. of lemonade, thin juice, or your favorite beverage. In a Greens Plus shaker cup or resalable bottle, shake periodically for a few minutes until the Chia seed becomes evenly suspended, then sip for a refreshing performance-enhancing energy drink.
The unique texture of mixed Chia seed is a feature of it's high fiber content and water binding capacity. For maximum benefit, drink at least 64 oz. of pure water every day. Omega3 Chia seed can be added to many foods including cereal, soup, salad, yogurt, smoothies and baked goods.
One tsp. of Chia mixed in 2 oz. of water becomes the perfect egg substitute.
