CHIA SEEDS HEALTH BENEFITS
- These tiny seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for our health – they help to keep the cholesterol lipid levels within a healthy range.
- Furthermore, chia seeds are relatively high in protein – 28-gram, or 1-ounce, serving of chia seeds contains 5.6 grams of protein.
- They are rich in fiber – a 25g portion of chia seeds contains approximately 9g of fiber. Fiber is super important for a healthy digestive system.
- They are a significant source of calcium – a 25g portion of chia contains 157mg.
- The combination of fat, protein, and fiber supports a healthy heart and stable blood-sugar levels.

WHAT IS MAQUI BERRY?
Maqui berries are being referred to as the new superfruit due to their high content of potent antioxidants. They contain very high levels of anthocyanins, pigments responsible for the purple color.
The flavor of maqui berry is mild. They taste similar to blackberries, with a subtle sweetness and a bit of tartness.
Maqui berry powder is freeze-dried, which is the best method available to preserve the valuable nutrients found in this amazing berry.
You can find it online or in many local health food stores. Always make sure that maqui berry powder is of the highest quality.
HOW TO USE IT
Add 1-2 teaspoons to your morning smoothie, oatmeal, nicecream, yogurt, or use it to color raw desserts.
