Just a spoonful adds a shot of nutrition to your drinks, crunch to your salads, or a tasty protein substitute in your garden burgers and soups. It is also a naturally gluten-free food that can be used to replace eggs in vegan baking. In short, this little seed packs a nutritional punch! Use chia to curb cravings, feel fuller longer, reduce your appetite-and lose weight naturally. Tap into chia's optimal carbohydrate/protein balance for increased stamina, prolonged energy levels, and improved performance. Sprinkle this tasty seed into food and drink for a quick fiber source-and improved digestion and detoxification. Inside you'll find 75 delicious recipes, including Sparkling Pomegranate & Blueberry Chia Fresca, Hearty Black Bean, Brown Rice, & Root Veggie Burger, and Creamy Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding as well as fun facts and lore, plus a treasure trove of tips for using chia every day for health and beauty. -- Back cover.
