100th post giveaway!!

Last week, in honor of my 100th post on ChiaSeedMe, I promised you guys a rockin’ giveaway.  Well, I’m never one to go back on my promises…so without further ado

It’s GIVEAWAY TIME!!!

Obviously, you guys know that I love Chia seeds.  For those of you who are new readers, here is a little rundown of all the benefits of these tiny little seeds.

• Chia seeds naturally contain more than 60% Omega-3 fatty acid – this is the highest percentage of Omega-3 of any commercially available source.
• Chia seeds are a complete source of dietary protein, providing all the essential amino acids.
• Chia seeds can absorb more than nine times their volume in water or other liquid. This can prolong hydration and retain electrolytes in body fluids, especially during exertion or exercise.
• Chia seeds are a great source of fiber.  One serving can provide 30% of the daily requirement.
• Chia seeds are gluten free!
• The gel-forming property of Chia seeds tends to slow digestion and sustain balanced blood sugar levels, which can be helpful in preventing or controlling diabetes.
• Because of the Chia seed’s ability to retain fluid, it aids in weight loss by helping to keep you feeling full longer
• Chia seeds contain large amounts of B vitamins and calcium.
• Chia seeds contain boron, which is needed for bones.  Boron is needed to aid the metabolism of calcium, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus in bones and for muscle growth.
• Chia seeds contain six times more calcium than whole milk, three times more iron than spinach and fifteen times more magnesium than broccoli!
