It is the silly season but no need to completely forget about having a nutritious balanced diet. You can easily add Chia bia to any of your favourite foods to keep up your nutrient count even if you are treating yourself. Here’s 5 ways to include your daily OMEGA 3’s on Christmas day. You don’t have to do all 5 but maybe try out 1 or 2…
Ginger Bread Cookies
Simply add 2 tablespoons of whole Chia seeds in the batter that you normally use for these delicious treats:
Egg Nog
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 2 medjool dates, pits removed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon rum extract or as much rum as you like
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, packed
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions:
Place all ingredients except the chia seeds into blender and blend until smooth. Check sweetness and add a little of your favourite sweetener if needed. Pour into a glass jar and stir in the chia seeds. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, shaking the jar every now and then to make sure the seeds don’t clump together. Shake well before pouring into two glasses. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired.
Trifle
Simply mix a couple tablespoons of chia seeds into the custard of your trifle recipe and enjoy the added benefit of all the extra nutrients
