5 Reasons To Add Chia Seeds to Your Diet *$50 Giveaway*

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:

  1. Chia seeds are the richest plant-based source of Omega-3s on Earth plus contain a concentrated source of calcium, potassium and other minerals
  2. Chia seeds are an excellent source of dietary fiber and a complete protein
  3. Chia seeds do not have to be ground to reap their nutritional benefits
  4. Chia seeds have a neutral flavor making them incredibly versatile for any recipe
  5. 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.

  23. raspberry – although I’d love to try any as I’m a big fan of the Mama chia drinks but haven’t seen the energy drinks at my local store. I’ve even requested that my local grocery store carry her products – still waiting …
