Shakeology - Highlighted Ingredient of the week: Chia Seed

This weeks highlighted ingredient is the super food called Chia Seed.  This ingredient has been used by ancient civilizations including the Aztecs, Incans, and Myans for medicinal force and a major source of energy.  Chia is a very small seed and often compared to Flax Seed.  The word "chia" comes from the Aztec word "chian" which means oily.  These things are chocked full of amazing fats and oils and contain high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.  Not to mention high levels of soluble fiber, potassium, and antioxidants!  It only get's better...Chia Seeds have two times more protein than most grains and five times more calcium then milk.

Here is a short video from Brad Gouthro talking about Chia Seeds:

So with all those amazing health benefits, it only makes sense that Shakeology would include Chia Seeds in their ingredients list.  For more information about Shakeology Click Here.
