Blend a Better Breakfast with Tasty Healthy Chia Seeds

Eating on the run doesn't have to be unhealthy. Dr. Joyce Johnson ND, education director for webber naturals Canada's leading manufacturer of nutritional supplements, suggests you shake it up for a healthy breakfast or snack.

"Healthy shakes are a great way to boost your nutrition and energy levels with minimal fuss. Many people like to try different combinations of fruits, whey or soy proteins, and other great ingredients," comments Johnson. "You can make a shake even healthier by adding a few teaspoons of ChiaNutra, black and white chia seeds. Chia is known as a super food because it contains highly concentrated amounts of essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6. It is also a vegetarian source of protein, soluble fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants."
