chia seed breakfast

It can get confusing keeping track of every new buzzy superfood that you should be eating for this reason or that...  But if you're looking to get in on the superfood movement and aren't sure where to start, then look no further than the chia seed.  A super concentrated food used by the ancient cultures of Mexico, chia is packed with omega 3, protein, fiber, and calcium, among other awesome nutrients!

Here's an easy way to add chia to your day.  Simply mix 1 Tbs of chia seeds with 1 serving of peanut butter until you get the consistency you want.  I like to use Trader Joe's all natural no salt added crunchy peanut butter cause it's already kind of runny, so adding to the chia seeds to it makes it a little thicker.  

Spread on your favorite whole grain bread or flat and enjoy chia!
