Remember in the '70s when everyone wanted a Chia Pet on their
kitchen window sill? Well, it turns out those seeds not only grow
amazingly quickly, but are also amazingly good for you to eat --
containing lots of easily digestible protein, essential fatty acids
(particularly omega-3s), vitamins, soluble fiber, antioxidants and
minerals. This is a healthy new product that is packed with
nutrients and is a great low-calorie, filling breakfast alternative
-- the only thing we didn't really love about it is the taste.
Celtic Sea Salt is the last ingredient on the list, but the first
one to hit your taste buds! The texture is good and all the other
flavors merge well, just the initial saltiness is unexpected for a
breakfast food -- although we have to note that it's not high in
sodium and is definitely worth trying for the health benefits.
Retails for $7.50/12 oz.
