Justine's Chia Seed Water + Giveaway *** WINNER PICKED ***

I first tried chia seeds when I did the Jus by Julie cleanse 15 months ago (thank you Instagram).  That's when I met Jus by Julie's Chia Berry and fell in love!  The flavor combo is on point:  strawberries, lemon, and pomegranate merge together to create a tangy and sweet perfection.  The only thing about this drink that is a miss is that it claims to be "blended," but since these drinks are free of preservatives, which I appreciate, I can understand why they don't hold a very nice texture.  Additionally these drinks are $8 a pop, which is pushing it when you can blend them yourself at home.  I'll post my version of this drink soon.  

When I first started eating chia seeds at work everyone made fun of me.  Now many of my co-workers make chia a part of their daily diet.  Chia seeds may be little, but they pack a nutritional punch.  In fact their name comes from the Mayan language and means strength.

Nutritional Info for Bob's Red Mill Chia Seeds

Chia are rich in fiber, high in Omega 3, and have no added sodium or sugar.  They contain antioxidants and calcium, which are good for your skin, hair, and nails.  These are a great source of non animal based protein, but please remember to eat all things in moderation.  Yes I tell myself this when I drive by McDonald's and whisper Big Mac...  

There's something in my water.

It seems everyone has jumped on the chia pudding band wagon, but have you tried chia water?  I like to think of it as my protein / fiber drink in one.  Move over Metamucil.  There's a new sheriff in town.
