Who knew the unbelievable health benefits that come from eating the seeds?! I can't believe I've gone so long without knowing much about these. I have to thank my Uncle Alan for educating me about these. We were staying at his house over Christmas and he picked up a scoopful of chia seeds and ate them. Now my Uncle knows his stuff when it comes to health, he's one of the top surgeons in the country and is the smartest person I've ever met! So when he has something to say, I listen. We had a great discussion about the seeds and all the health benefits.She then goes on to list some of the many health benefits of chia seeds. Read more here ... Chia Seeds - Leslie Sarna.

Another Plug for Chia Seeds
Leslie Sarna writes on her blog:
Have you ever tried Chia Pudding? It's chocolate so can't be all that bad right? I will give you the recipe and you can try it and let me know how it is! Just kidding lol! Personally I avoid soy anything like the plague so I would use regular milk.

Makes 2 servings
3 Tbsp Chia seeds
1 cup chocolate soy milk (or any milk)
Pour the chocolate milk in a bowl and add the chia seeds while mixing. Let it rest for 40 minutes mixing from time to time until the texture becomes similar to tapioca pudding. Top with shredded coconut and enjoy. This pudding keeps in the fridge for a couple of days.
