Chia seeds are great for better health, and that helps me be better. After hitting the snooze button one too many times, come Friday, it takes a serious effort to wake up and begin the day. Our schedule during the school year is admittedly busy, filled with soccer practices, swim team, homework and church. And as a mom who works from home, it can be tempting to forego my morning workouts or take an afternoon nap when it isn’t convenient. My go-to for “waking up” has been coffee. But the withdrawal headaches and occasional heartburn diminished my dependence on it.
An Energy Drink I’ll Use – With Chia Seeds
Admittedly, I’m not a fan of traditional energy drinks. A combination of unrecognizable ingredients, high levels of sugar, and caffeine levels that could pose a health risk have deterred me from what otherwise seems like a quick pick-me-up. So I was incredibly intrigued when I saw Mamma Chia Organic Clean Energy Beverages in the refrigerated section of my local Walmart. I’ve tried their Organic Vitality Beverages and use the Organic Chia Seeds in smoothies, so I knew that the energy beverages would likely have a clean profile.
One of the things that sets Mamma Chia Organic Energy Beverages apart is that the caffeine source is naturally occurring Guayusa. This super-leaf originated in the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador and contains caffeine, antioxidants and vitamins for a clean energy boost without the untoward side effects of the caffeine consumed in coffee or tea. I can be very sensitive to the caffeine in coffee and green tea but when I drink the Organic Energy Beverages from Mamma Chia, I don’t feel jittery or experience heart palpitations.
Along with providing a gentle energy boost, 1 bottle of Mamma Chia Clean Energy provides more than an entire day’s worth of Omega-3s, 25% of the recommended daily fiber, 4 grams of complete protein, twice the antioxidants of a cup of green tea, calcium, and 90 milligrams of coffee (which is equivalent to an 8 ounce cup of coffee). Each bottle is just 120 calories and USDA Certified Organic, Kosher, Gluten-Free and Non-GMO Verified. At present, Mamma Chia Clean Energy Beverages are available in Blackberry Blast, Cherry Charge, Raspberry Razz and Grape Power.
The benefits of consuming chia seeds are well-documented and I started introducing the superfood into our family’s diet several months ago. Prior to trying Mamma Chia Clean Energy, I used chia seeds primarily in smoothies. If you’re looking for ways to incorporate them into your diet, you could blend them into a morning smoothie, sprinkle the seeds in oatmeal, cereal or granola, drink them, or enjoy them as a snack with Mamma Chia Organic Chia Squeeze or Organic Chia Vitality Bars.
There are so many wonderful benefits of introducing chia seeds into your diet. Here are 5 Reasons To Include Chia Seeds Into Your Diet:
- Chia seeds are the richest plant-based source of Omega-3s on Earth plus contain a concentrated source of calcium, potassium and other minerals
- Chia seeds are an excellent source of dietary fiber and a complete protein
- Chia seeds do not have to be ground to reap their nutritional benefits
- Chia seeds have a neutral flavor making them incredibly versatile for any recipe
- Chia seeds swell up to 12 times their normal size when placed in water, which means you’ll reap the benefits and stay hydrated longer.
