Cha-Cha-Cha Chia!
I just had to. Now we aren’t talking about those pets that were popular in the 80’s/90’s and apparently are still on the market. We are talking about the good stuff. The stuff that you eat. Chia seeds are packed with Omega-3s and are an excellent source of dietary fiber, complete protein and antioxidants, the ancient seed was held in high esteem by both the Mayans and Aztecs for increasing vitality and strength.
Now this isn’t the first time I have talked about Mamma Chia on the blog; the first time was back in March of 2013 when I told you how much I loved the Chia Squeeze. Guess what? We still love them around here. They have become a weekly purchase around our house for Edith and myself (and sometimes Neil if he is lucky enough to get one before they are gone). Edith has one about every other day as a snack (her favorite) and I have 1-2 per week usually as an on the go snack whether we are out at the playground or I am out for a nice long walk.
I usually buy the Green Magic or the Blackberry Bliss but since trying the two new flavors Mango Coconut and Wild Raspberry I am anxiously awaiting their arrival to our local stores. Seriously they are both super delicious.
A new exciting feature from Mamma Chia their new organic bagged chia. You can purchase white or black chia seeds and they are so much fun to use to create your own recipes or just to simple sprinkle on a salad or yogurt or add to a smoothie (what I usually do). If you’re looking for recipe inspiration Janie Hoffman the Mamma Chia founder and CEO just realized a book called Chia Vitality. I haven’t finished reading the book yet but so far it’s a really great read and if you so desire there is a 30 day meal plan that centers around chia seeds and improving your health that you can follow.

I would love to try these! I jumped on the chia bandwagon after reading Born to Run, but I never found a good way to bring my homemade chia gel on hikes and runs. These look like the solution to my problem (and so much better for me than Gu, which is my fallback option)!

Oh, and the Chia Squeeze in Wild Raspberry would be my first choice. Nom.

I LOVE Chia Squeeze! We just discovered them a few weeks ago. I’ve only tried the Strawberry Banana, so I’d like to try Blackberry Bliss.

I like the grapefruit ginger. It looks really interesting!

The Blackberry Bliss Chia Squeeze looks awesome!

I’ve seen these around the stores but never tried them! I think they might be good as on-the-go nutrition for my runs. Mango Coconut sounds amazing!!

Wow! I haven’t tried Chia seeds because they kind of freak me out. Haha… but, these look totally easy and tasty. I’d love to see how much son likes them.

Edith has been nuts about them since around 8 months- her favorite snack!

I’ve only had the Mamma Chia drinks, not the Chia Squeeze. Mango Coconut sounds great! I might try them out for running!

Hmm, they all sound delicious but if I had to pick one flavor I’d love to try I think it would be Mango Coconut!

I saw the squeezes somewhere the other day and was very intrigued. I’d try the drinks a long time ago and used to put chia seeds in everything. It has been a while. Raspberry flavor sounds delish.

I love those drinks. My favorite is the cherry lime. I tried making my own, but it just didn’t turn out the same. They remind me of those orbitz sodas I used to get in junior high. A lot healthier though.
