Superfoods Chiaseed + recipe
I love superfoods. Superfoods are foods(mostly plants) and they are very good for your health. superfoods are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals. Eating them may reduce the risk of chronic disease, and prolong life, and people who eat more of them are healthier and thinner than those who don't.
I have some superfood in stock like: chiaseeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds. I thought that everybody could eat them.
So I've made a chiapudding and after that (stupid me) I've read some stuff about chiaseeds during pregnancy.
There is a warning label if you are pregnant and eat chiaseeds on a daily basis.
Let me set some things straight about chiaseeds....
CHIASEEDS:
Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are derived from a plant in the mint family. Although a relative newcomer to the American diet, chia was a staple food in the ancient Aztec diet. Chia seed contains omega 3 fatty acids. The seeds are full of antioxidants and minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc, iron, niacin. They also contain fiber.
So Chiaseeds are a healthy product you can use daily. BUT:
Always pay attention to your body, there are people with hypersensitivity to chia seeds and symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting. People have mainly suffered from in the morning on an empty stomach. If you have this, I would not eat it. Chia seed does thin the blood and blood pressure lowering. Here you should keep in mind when you're pregnant.
RECIPE:
I've got a recipe for the sweet cravings with chiaseeds !
Chiaseeds pudding:
mix some almondmilk, chiaseeds, vanilla extract and maple syrup. put it in the fridge for 1 night.
(chia seeds take to 9x their own moisture. If you mix it with a liquid, there will be is a jelly like substance.)
Chocolate pudding:
Greek yogurt, pure cocoa powder, maple syrup. Mix it together.
Top it with slices banana and sprinkle it with hemp seeds.
