Chia seeds are a versatile food that adds omega3 fatty
acids, protein, fiber and antioxidants to your diet. In addition to being able
to sprinkle the seeds directly onto a wide range of foods to take advantage of
these benefits, there are also numerous ways to enjoy chia seeds in recipes
that can improve a healthy diet even more. You will find over 100 recipes at
AZChia that tell you how to introduce chia into all types of recipes so as to
add the nutrients that chia contains, and also provides tips for using chia as
a substitute for ingredients that are not as healthy such as eggs and saturated
fats. The result is a greater diversity of healthy foods and delicious tastes
that suit almost anyone.
One example of an easy chia seed recipe is to use a brownie mix that calls for 2 or 3
eggs. Instead, use three egg whites with 3 teaspoons of whole chia seeds. Other
than increasing the liquid used and cooking time by a few minutes, the recipe
is prepared in the same way as one would normally do it. This gives you the
option to use a low cost brownie mix or any other kind of packaged baking treat
as a healthy snack that doesn’t have the whole egg or oil added to it, which
adds cholesterol or unhealthy fats to your diet. With so many choices available
as to how you use chia seeds, there is no reason that everyone cannot get the
added nutrition that makes chia the world’s healthiest whole food.
