Hi, Gang!

Here's an interesting article about the benefits of chia seeds,
why overweight people are often malnourished,
and the role of refined carbohydrates in that malnourishment;

I have used chia seeds on occasion in recipes.
But now, I'm going to enjoy them every day!

Hey, Everyone!!!

How much do you put in shakes/muffins?  When using Chia, should I decrease/omit another ingredient?

Umpa (and everyone) please share your shake/protein drink recipes...  Gotta come up with something for breakfast other than Isopure protein powder - been doing this for b'fast  (5 days/week) for the past several years, and now my tummy/gut is not handling it well. 

Doug/Umpa - are you guys still in NC or have you settled down in the Keys for the season?  Soooo excited to turn the A/C off down here  in S. Fla (Palm Beach County).  Actually opened the windows recently for a few days...then temps/humidity went back up...then opened again yesterday and today - temps/humidity going back up this week and a/c will once again be purring, but sooo looking forward to Florida Fall temps...SOON!!  Actually, the "snowbirds" arrive before our lower temperatures do!!

Honestly, does anyone anywhere have good consistent weather?  At the moment we are in spring with summer just around the corner.  The other day it was all 4 seasons in one with the main being pelting rain and arctic winds, intermittent with blue sky and hot sun.  Today is glorious but heading towards hot.  I hate hot.  Isn't there anywhere where it's wonderful and CONSISTENT?

Romarc we left North Carolina yesterday and landed in Alabama to do some Bass fishing for Dougs birthday .Then December 1 we will head back to the Keys.Its still too hot in the Keys,but I am glad the temps are coming down.My shake is really easy.Enreino turned me onto Hemp powder and I love it!Just chunk it all in a blender.
2 Tablespoons Hemp Powder
8 ounces unsweetened almond/coconut milk
6 drops Zero
4 strawberries
6 large ice cubes
1 tablespoons chia seeds
This is wicked filling! I also use soy protein powder,but I like the hemp better

I've been reading ... The Great Cholesterol Myth by Dr. Jonny Bowden and Dr. Sinatra and they touch on chia seeds as they are high in Omega-3's.  As we produce 2 other omega-3's in our body,  they need the other essential omega-3 in order to work properly which you can find in chia or flax seed.   Amazing that this little tiny seed can be so powerful.   Wonderful stuff.
