I'm not sure how many people know what chia seeds are but I feel like so many are unaware of how great this super food is. Along with the many benefits, it's also one of the few foods that are not meats to be a complete protein, meaning it contains all of the amino acids essential to humans. Chia seeds taste great with everything. You can sprinkle them unto oatmeal or salads, bake them into anything, blend them into any smoothie, or soak them in almond (or any milk of choice) to make pudding.The seeds are virtually tasteless so you can add them to anything.
