Until recently I thought chia seeds existed for the sole purpose of sprouting hair on clay figure heads.
(Just this Christmas I saw a Series of Golden Girls heads and ALMOST bought all of them!)
They were so FUN to play with and watch grow. WHO KNEW they packed a powerful nutrient punch too?!
Chia seeds are not only high in fiber but also contain healthy fats and help absorb water. They can hence help treat constipation and trigger your daily constitutional. Pair that with the restorative work of CB Supplements Collagen to form connective tissue in the lining of the digestive system that maintains digestive health, and you’ve got ‘power-couple’ breakfast reminiscent of old school ‘Brad and Jennifer’.
Also, if you like snacks (who doesn’t?) packed with collagen, see all our collagen snack recipes!
