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!

chiapudding2

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 love chia seeds. I use them in my overnight oats and they thicken them up. I want to win some chia seeds so I can keep on making my overnight oats the way I like them for FREE!

    I’ve never used chia seeds…I’ve been using flax but have been reading up on the benefits and would LOVE to give them a try. After 5 babies I am wanting to give my body some love and return the wonderful favors it has done for me:)

  22. NaturallyMariam on December 2, 2009 at 3:08 pm

    I love chia because of its omega 3 compounds and the fact that they contain no phyto or any type of estrogen-like compounds like flax.

    I have been interested in chia seeds since I saw that a running tribe in Mexico uses them to fuel their runs. I would love to try them to see what they taste like. I think that they would be a great addition to my diet.
