Chia Seeds Giveaway

Hey everyone!

As ya’ll know, I had a mild (moderate?) obsession with chia seeds.

My favorite use for them?

CHIA PUDDING!

I also recommend them to my clients because of the incredible health benefits they offer.

Needless to say, I was more than stoked when ChiaSeedsDirect offered the opportunity to host a giveaway 😀

Chia Seeds Direct offers a variety of fresh chia seeds at very low prices (chia isn’t cheap!) and FREE shipping in the US. The lovely people at Chia Seeds Direct have generously offered one lucky Fitnessista a 3-lb bag of chia seeds!

You have TWO ways to enter (but don’t have to do both)

1. Leave a comment on this page letting me know why you want to win some chia seeds!

2. Tweet “I want to win chia seeds from @fitnessista” (I’ll keep track of the tweets spreadsheet style)

Winner will be announced Friday at noon EST.

Ready…. set… go!

    I would love to win the Chia seeds as I’ve always wanted to try them but just haven’t gotten around to purchasing any. I’ve heard so much about them I’m anxious to see what they’re all about.

    I really want to try chia seeds but I don’t want to spend a ton of money on them and then have them sit around the house if I hate them.

  28. Mo on December 2, 2009 at 1:22 pm

    As a Registered Dietitian, I would love to start recommending them for all the great benefits, but the problem is, I haven’t tried them myself yet. 🙁 (

    I never recommend anything that I haven’t personally tried.)
    please pick me
