Super Food for Energy and Weight Loss

Chia Seeds

When you signed up for my newsletter you probably remember that I asked you to take just one minute and let me know what your biggest challenges are with your health and your lifestyle.

Across the board - the two major complaints that people write in with are:

--wanting to lose weight

--needing more energy

Well,I know this might sound far fetched but I have come across one of the most amazing Super Foods that can help with both of those problems - the simple " Chia Seed".

I've known about Chia for a few years, but never really knew how amazing these seeds were until I studied this past year at the School of Natural Cooking and Integrative Health with Christina Pirello.

Christina and her husband Robert raved about the benefits of Chia so I just had to try them!

I honestly was so surprised at how I felt. I had much more stamina throughout the day when I took them in a beverage early in the morning.

Chia seeds were a main component of the Aztec and Mayan diets. They give tremendous energy and stamina. They also help you lose weight because they fill you up and cleanse your intestinal tract.

And, they are an awesome source of Omega-3 fatty acid and better than flax in that they can be stored for long periods of time without becoming rancid.

They are easy to ingest and digest, rather tasteless, and can be used in so many different ways.

Here is a 1 min 14 seconds video of how I like to use Chia Seeds:

I LOVE putting Chia seeds in my Ningxia Red juice in the morning!

Here are some other ways you can use Chia Seeds:

Sprinkle on your food

Add to smoothie

Allow to become gelatinous in liquid and eat with spoon

As with everything – its best to get the organic!

Here are some sources for you if you can 't find them in your local Whole Foods:

This recipe is from Christina Pirello's website (check out her site and watch the video on her home page - I created and produced that video and gave it to her as a gift when I graduated! I'll be teaching how to make videos like that in my upcoming class!):

Veggie Stir Fry with Chia

I love this as the main course to create an easy and nutritious dinner in a hurry.

2 teaspoons avocado oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, finely minced
3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
Sea salt
1 jalapeno pepper, finely minced (keep the seeds and stems for more heat)
1 small red onion, thin half moon slices
1 carrot, fine matchstick pieces
1 red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, thinly sliced into ribbons
3 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 ounces extra firm tofu, cubed
5-6 baby bok choy, split lengthwise, rinsed well
Shoyu
Brown rice vinegar
1 tablespoon chia seeds
3 cups cooked brown basmati rice

Place avocado oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Sauté ginger and garlic with a pinch of salt for 30 seconds. Stir in jalapeno, onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add carrot, a pinch of salt and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in peppers and shiitake, a pinch of salt and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in tofu and sauté for 2 minutes. Add baby bok choy; season to taste with shoyu, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the bok choy just wilts. Do not overcook the veggies in this dish. Stir in chia seeds and spoon over brown rice to serve. Makes 3-4 servings.
