I've been scrolling through the pages on my blog earlier and I've realized, I should probably have a break from a cakes...for a day or so. Healthy eating and all that, you know. So this morning, after a lazy tea in bed and chats on social media, I've decided to put the chia seeds back into a good use.
I'm presuming that you already know how good chia seeds are for you, and if you don't know that, you must have been living under the rock for quite a while my friend, but don't worry, there is still hope for you! Just have a look around your social media pages, feeds and magazines, and I'm sure you will find chia headlines somewhere there! (although, if you really want me to tell you how good they are, email me, and I will!)
One of my favorite things about chia is how easy it is to make (once you have soaked the seeds for a little while). They are also great addition to smoothies, even if not soaked. And don't get me started on the jams! Chia seeds are made for jams! Hello to all these berries and jam jars awaiting patiently in the kitchen!
