Mamma Chia, The Original Chia Beverage!


I am so excited to share with you what I found....
Mamma Chia Seed Your Soul - The Original Chia Beverage, Raspberry Passion flavor at Chuck's Produce!  Ever since I read about how healthy chia seeds are for you, I have been interested in trying them.  Dr. Oz talked about chia seeds and how good they are for you on the Oprah show.  The chia seed is an excellent source of fiber, packed with antioxidants, full of protein, loaded with vitamins and minerals, and the richest known plant source of omega-3.  Omega 3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids needed for human health.

As much as I was interested in trying chia seeds, I was not able to find any at the stores I frequent, and I didn’t want to buy a bag of them off the Internet without trying them.   So I waited, until I came across a Mamma Chia drink in the refrigerator section.  I was so excited!  I could see little, clear circles in the drink and I became so curious to guzzle it down!  I demonstrated more restraint than that, thankfully!  A day later, I opened the bottle and tried a sip…it felt like little pieces of jello in my mouth with a delicious, and not over-powering, raspberry flavor. 

I can't wait to drink one again...
