But first we must cover lunch. 🙂
Tuesday Lunch
Today’s mid-day meal included a big ol’ salad, composed of:
- Butter lettuce
- Celery
- Tomatoes
- Carrots
- Leftover sausage
- Balsamic vinaigrette dressing
Gettin' Mah Veggies!
A cup of plain Greek yogurt with a scoop of grape jelly rounded out my meal.
Before moving onto the giveaway, I just wanted to let you know that the Fashion page was updated this afternoon. 🙂
Chia Seeds Giveaway
Though I only recently discovered the beauty that is chia seeds, once I tried the nutritous little seeds, I fell in love.
Chia!
I fell hard and I fell fast thanks to their amazing nutritional profile (omega3s + fiber + protein + antioxidants and more!). Their fantastic crunch and ability to thicken overnight oats like nobody’s business just sealed the deal for me! Plus, they make a great addition to smoothies, cereal, granola bars, baked goods, salads, oatmeal and more!
And here’s the good news! Now you can win a two-pound bag of chia seeds from ChiaSeedsDirect.com. ChiaSeedsDirect.com is a company that solely sells chia seeds, offering high-quality chia seeds at low prices with free shipping to U.S residents!
Bag of Seeds!
I received a bag of their seeds and have really enjoyed using them in my overnight oats…
Overnight Oats
Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
Bagelwich
And coconut granola!
Coconut Granola
They’re pretty darn great.
To enter this giveaway, simply comment below, telling me one way you would like to enjoy chia seeds!
This giveaway is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada and I will randomly select a winner tomorrow afternoon.
Good luck!

I would love to try them in oatmeal and sprinkled on pb and banana 🙂
I use chia in my moroccan granola!
I am actually a college student and eat hot oats most mornings, but am really interested/ excited to try cold overnight oats this summer when the weather gets nicer….the addition of chia seeds to my overnight oats would be amazing, also I liked your suggestion to put them in salads, add a little crunch and some extra health benefits to lunch or dinner could also be extremely beneficial to my diet!
love your blog so much and want to thank you for helping me get though an eating disorder because of your balance and positivity in your relationship with exercise and food!

I’ve been reading about the delicious benefits of chia seeds on blogs like yours for months now and am still yet to try them!! i know having a big bag like that would push me to finally get my butt in gear and start MAKING overnight oats and smoothies instead of reading about (and drooling over) them.

I eat/drink a smoothie every morning and would LOVE to try chia seeds in them.

Oh I’d love to try some. I’ve checked the 2 grocery stores I frequent the most and neither have them. I’m going to check the health food store soon, unless I win some.
As a layer in a fruit and yogurt parfait!
I would use them in oatmeal and bagelwich’s for sure!
Speaking of, I tried your cinnamon raisin bagel thin topped with pb and bananas and it was to die for! I can’t wait to have another one tomorrow, haha.

I never knew about chia seeds until i started reading your blog! You have some great marketing skills :)Needless to say, I saw them when I made a recent trip to whole foods and I decided to snag a bag. I’m in love! I actually just made a smoothie with chia seeds in it and it was delicious and filling. Next time I think i’ll try them in overnight oats… Yay chia!!
I actually only tried chia seeds for the first time about a month ago, but like you, I’m now hooked! Although they’re great in overnight oats or as chia pudding, I’d say my favorite way to enjoy their ‘crunch’ is sprinkled on some chewy bread with nut butter, banana, and granola!
I love a little crunch on my yogurt so I’d have them there for sure! Smoothies would be next! ; )
I’d like to try them in savory things – i’m a huge fan of textures, so i think the crunch would be great in anything!
I’m sure they would add a great crunch to oatmeal!
Definitely overnight oats! I ordered some and used them up and have been bummed to not have any more. 🙂 To get some for free would be awesome!
I haven’t tried Chia Seeds yet but want to sooo bad!! I would put them in my smoothies and oatmeal.

I’ve never tried chia seeds before, but they look fantastic and they have omega3’s PLUS fiber PLUS protein?? Seriously, what more could you possibly ask for? And your overnight chocolate oats look so sinfully delicious that I NEED to have them. Bring on the chia seeds!
I would love them in ONO’s! I just can’t believe how healthful they are!!
