Well, I haven't had a chance to try making the Apricot Chia Bars. But I did go out and get some nutrition packed Chia Seeds. Major Anti-Oxidants & Omega 3's! I sprinkle a couple spoonfuls in my plain Greek yogurt with some cut up fruit and a couple spoonfuls of local honey. Yum, Yum! This I can eat. Plus it's quick & easy! I bought the plain Greek Yogurt for the extra punch of protein and added the local honey to help combat my seasonal allergies. So far, so good!
The Chia Seeds really don't have a flavor. I wouldn't know they were there except for all the little black specks in my yogurt. My husband did complain about the calories as he is on a diet. 60 calories per tablespoon. I may just try throwing them in a smoothie! should be an easy way to add them to my diet!
I, on the other hand, am watching my health as opposed to my waistline. I have spinal issues, with the added bonus of Fibromyalgia! Woo Hoo! So I am constantly trying new, healthful ways to take care of my body, as well as my family's! I haven't noticed any dramatic changes in my pain levels, but I guess it will take more than one thing to get this body functioning better as a whole!
