SalsaEzz Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Saw these on TV last night Looked them up.. pleasantly surprised!! http://www.thechiaco.com.au/products/chia-pod "Chia Pods® contain one full serve of Australian Grown sun ripened Chia seeds mixed with coconut milk and real fruit. Just three ingredients and no added sugar." What do you guys think? I was thinking something like one a week as a treat for breakfast with eggs on the side for protein and still a serve of veggies. Maybe this is a post whole 30 paleofied SWYPO food? Thanks! Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalsaEzz Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks Tom I will get one this week to try and if it's delicious and I like it then I know I've got these up my sleeve for if I want a treat but don't want to go off plan. I've done some searching on the forum re: chia seeds. Essentially discouraged due to their fatty acid profile... but not banned.. I'm still not really sure what this means I would be doing to my body by eating them though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vian Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Here is some other info on Chia seeds. I don't have anything to back up or refute whether or not the omega 3's contained in chia seeds are usable by the body or not, but it seems they have a lot of other good things in them. http://wellnessmama.com/4981/10-uses-for-chia-seeds/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
