Chia Goodnes Cereal Review & Giveaway ~ 3 Winners~

  • Sharebar

GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED
I’m a HUGE HUGE cereal lover, in fact you could say I am a cereal-a-holic! The good news is I LOVE healthy cereal MORE than I love the junky ones! So when I was asked if I would like to review
Chia Goodness I said Yes Siree Bob!

Now you may be saying to yourself, Chia??? Where have I heard that word? That sounds familiar! Cha Cha Cha Chia.. Ring any Bells for ya? That’s right! (The Chia Pet) The chia seed (salvia hispanica) is quite possibly the most nutritious seed ever!

Chia contains more than five times more calcium than milk, is an excellent source of fiber and is gluten free. Chia also has more Omega 3 than flax or salmon, and contains trace minerals and protein.


WHAT I LOVE ABOUT Chia Goodness

  • The ingredients are completely raw! To me this means it’s a natural WHOLE food. It’s unadulterated. The closer your food to nature the better
  • You can eat Chia Goodness Hot or Cold. {To eat hot just add HOT Milk of choice (I use low fat almond or soy milk) and let thicken 3-5 minutes}
  • 3 Flavors ~ Original, Cranberry Ginger, Apple Almond Cinnamon
  • It’s very filling one bowl keeps me full for a few hours!

I was able to review the Apple Almond Cinnamon. I enjoyed it hot with low fat almond milk. The directions say to measure 2 tablespoons of Chia Goodness into a bowl add 1/4 cup hot or cold water or your choice of milk. Stir well. Wait 3-5 minutes or until thickened.

I really like the taste of Chia Goodness. I’m a HUGE texture person and I don’t mind the texture, but I want to mention that the texture is very similar to oatmeal. The Chia Goodness Apple Almond Cinnamon was loaded with dried apples and huge pieces of almonds and lots of raisins.

I like to sprinkle Chia Goodness on my fat free/ sugar free yogurt to boost the nutritional value, it tastes really good and makes my yogurt more filling :)

You Can purchase Chia Goodness at select retailers and also online, HERE.

    I learned that the ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 in hemp is about 3 to 1, and in flax it is 1 to 3!

    I'd love to try the Chia Goodness Cranberry Ginger.

    Ruth's Sample pack looks interesting. It's great way to try a variety of thier products.

    We've been investigating adding Chia to our diet. The added calcium would be very beneficial for me.
