Happy Friday!
Chia seeds can be eaten raw or ground to make a flour substitute and added to baked goods and even pastas. It can also be mixed with a small amount of water to be used as an egg replacer in baked goods. Chia seeds bring a nutty flavor to smoothies, granola and oatmeal. One of my favorite chia seed products are Ruth’s Foods Chia Goodness. Chia Goodness is also a favorite of many of my clients, one is even so in love with it he ordered himself a case!
It is a quick and easy breakfast option or even a snack! I keep a package of the chocolate flavor at my desk at all times so when I get hungry I can make myself up a bowl. I love that you can eat it hot or cold, which makes it great to travel with. I usually take along some whenever we travel because as long as I have a bowl or cup, a spoon and water I can eat it anywhere!
Today I am sharing my love of chia AND of Ruth’s Foods Chia Goodness with a giveaway! Three people will be the proud winners of this giveaway and will receive three flavors of Chia Goodness and a package of chia seeds.
Chia Goodness™ is a new concept in breakfast cereal. The ingredients are completely raw – just stir in milk or water, hot or cold, and wait a few minutes for it to thicken, giving it the comfort quality of oatmeal. We combine chia with our shelled hempseed, a great source of protein, essential fatty acids and trace minerals, and add other seeds, fruits and nuts to give you the best breakfast ever. (Source)

i know your husband is already a vegan, but i would love to see some posts about meat-free meals for MEN!
That is a great idea! I can definitely incorporate more men friendly meat-free dishes. My husband has been vegan longer than I have so I have never really had to create vegan male friendly meals for him but I have a number of recipes that are popular with my meat and potatoes father that I can use for inspiration!

I really like your recipe posts, but I also enjoying reading about your pregnancy updates! It might be nice to know more about your daily eating habits or weekly meal plans.
Melissa- I have had a number of requests regarding daily eating posts so I just recently started participating in What I Ate Wednesday where I am featuring my eats for one day of the week. Unfortunately with my schedule and blogging style daily eats posts just don’t work for me so WIAW as been my compromise. As for weekly meal plans- I am actually in the process of working on a feature posts and there will be a new page on the blog that will feature sample meal plans for people. Thanks so much for your input!
I love posts with new recipe, but also the workout inspiration and the pregnancy updates!
