Chia seeds

Living in rural North Dakota I had a hard time finding chia seeds and I ordered them online. Lately I have seen Chia seeds in most grocery stores including Walmart.

Chia seeds are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, antioxidants, iron, and calcium.
Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to improve Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms. Omega 3 fatty acids also regulate inflammation and help prevent several metabolic diseases.

When you add liquids to chia seeds a gel membrane coats the seeds. This gel coating helps bind liquids together and can make a pudding like consistency. I add chia seeds to tea and use it to make puddings like the recipe below. Chia seeds can also be used in baking to replace an egg.  I was out of full fat coconut milk I added in 24 g of Fat Pack from Cave Shake to boost the fats.  To make this paleo, omit the stevia and fat pack and you are good to go.

Ingredients:

• 50 g fresh chopped strawberries
• 80 ml Almond Coconut milk or almond milk.
• 28 g Chia seeds
• 6 drops stevia to taste
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 24 g Cave Shake (optional)

Instructions:

• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl or mason jar.
• Chill, covered in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until the pudding has reached a pudding like consistency.
• Use less liquid if you want to to be thicker.
• Adjust your stevia levels to taste.
• Then, go eat it.
