Traditionally, I have recommended consuming foods rich in the omega 3’s such as wild salmon, sardines, anchovies, as well as taking high quality fish oil capsules. Nuts and seeds are also recommended for their essential fats.
However, Chia seeds provide another source of omega 3’s and have the highest amounts of vegetarian omega-3 fatty acids, as well as an ideal omega-6: omega-3 ratio of 1:3.
Chia seeds can be added yogurt, cereal, smoothies and just about any dish you can think of. I add a scoop of chia to a cup of water. This creates a special gel in about 15 minutes that is hugely beneficial to the digestive tract and assimilates into any meal without any taste or texture.
How do you incorporate chia into your diet?
I make the Chia gel in 3 jars and place them in the fridge because after 48hrs, u get a lot more nutrients. I finish a jar a day with meals.
I drink at least 1 bottle of Mamma Chia every day!
I soak about half a cup of chia seeds in about one and a half to two cups of oat or almond milk over night, and than add some blueberries and raspberries w/ some vanilla extract for breakfast, brilliant breakfast when generally I’m not a breakfast person!
I buy sprouted ground chia seeds and mix scoops into smoothies. I also put a scoop into coconut milk and drink it in the morning.
