A Little time ago I started including in my diet this so special ingredient called Chia. Maybe not everyone knows about it, but it is considered as a “superfood”. That’s why it got my attention, since it’s an excellent source of fiber and antioxidants, calcium, protein, and omega 3. When the seeds are mixed with some sort of liquid, even if it’s thick as yogurt, the Chia forms a voluminous gel, which gives the feeling of fullness, being a good reason to consume for whoever wants to stay fit or willing to lose weight. There are multiple ways to prepare it, but to begin with today I bring to you a dessert or a meal like a snack, and the best of all is that it doesn’t need cooking.
