Easy Organic Cinnamon Chocolate Fudge
Several months ago I received a surprise package in the mail. It was a bag of Chia Seeds from my brother! He wanted to share with me this new healthy food that is easy to add to a variety of foods ~ benefits for you without any extra work or taste.
What is a Chia Seed? Chia seeds are one of the most powerful, functional, and nutritious superfoods in the world! The chia seed is an excellent source of fiber, packed with antioxidants, full of protein, loaded with vitamins and minerals, and the richest known plant source of omega-3.
A few weeks ago I was introduced to Salba® ~ the most nutrient dense and most nutritionally consistent form of Chia on the market today.
- 8x More Omega-3s than Salmon
- 30% More Antioxidants than Blueberries
- 25% More Fiber than Flax Seed
- 6x More Calcium then Whole Milk
- 2x More Potassium than a Banana
- 15x More Magnesium than Broccoli?
Shall I go on?
What I love love about Salba is how EASY it is! I can add a 1/2 teaspoon to my morning yogurt. Another in my evening smoothie. And I can take it further to put in my oatmeal, soups, sandwiches. Anything!
Today I baked with it. For my chocolate lovers…
