This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Mamma Chia. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.
Since I am a mom I am always looking for healthy products for my family. Before this month I didn’t know much about chia seeds. I had heard about them but didn’t know anything about them except that they were supposed to be healthy for you. What I learned since I received these products is some really good information to know that I want to share.
- Chia seeds have 70% more protein than soybeans
- Chia seeds have 25% more fiber than flaxseed
- Chia seeds have 30% more antioxidants than blueberries
- Chia seeds have 600% more calcium than milk
- Chia seeds have 8X more Omega3s than salmon
These sound like some pretty healthy seeds to intake huh?
In 2009 Janie Hoffman decided to put these seeds to use and created Mamma Chia, a company that produces the organic, chia-based foods and beverages. We recently received some of the Mamma Chia Squeeze Vitality Snacks to give a try.
These snacks are conveniently packaged in a 3.5 oz. BPA-free pouch that can easily be added to your children’s lunches, your gym bag, purse, etc. These little pouches contain 1200mg of Omega-3-s and 4 grams of fiber with NO sugar added.
You can also find the Mamma Chia Vitality Beverages that are available in a variety of flavors! These are lightly sweetened with less than one tablespoon of organic agave nectar. These beverages also contain more than an entire day’s worth of Omega-3s, 6 grams of fiber and 4 grams of complete protein.
For those that enjoy energy drinks, next moth Mamma Chia will becoming out with their Mamma Chia Clean Energy Vitality Beverages that combine the power of chia with the clean enegy of Guayusa that nourishes your entire body and soul!
