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 have just lost 20 lbs and have plateaued big time for the past few weeks! ughh! even with kicking up the exercise! Winning chia seeds will inspire me to keep going, 30 more lbs to lose, and help me alternate my diet in a healthy way!

  15. Stephanie on December 3, 2009 at 9:34 pm

    I’ve been wanting to try this Chia Pudding I see you and other bloggers make. Looks delicious and of course we can’t ignore the healthy benefits. It’s a bit pricey for my budget which is why I haven’t purchased them yet.

  16. Michele on December 3, 2009 at 9:36 pm

    I’ve been trying out your style of feasting so getting some free chia seeds would be a cool bonus.

  17. Ryan @ Greens for Good on December 3, 2009 at 9:50 pm

    I’ve been wanting to try chia seeds for ages now and never remember to buy them!

  18. Chantal on December 3, 2009 at 9:50 pm

    Recently learned that chia seeds are the greatest way for people on a raw food diet to get calcium so I’m in!

  19. esther on December 3, 2009 at 9:53 pm
