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...

  1. I have seven pounds..I will give a pound to Brent to give to Ira...we just mix it in with our yogurt or oatmeal every morning. I also always add it into baked goods. My dad has lowered his diabetes almost to the point that he doesn't need medication just by adding these into his diet. SERIOUSLY. :)

  2. Also they are in the bulk section of whole foods and new seasons. That is how I used to buy them but now I just buy the 25 pound bag from Bob's Red Mill and split with friends. Spread the Chia love around! ha.
