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!

I’d like to try chia seeds on a bagelwich! you got me hooked on bagelwiches….now you can get me hooked on chia seeds on them!
I fell in LOVE with Chia seeds when I worked at a health food store before finding my full time big girl job. They are so nutritional and easy to throw into just about anything. I would probably use the chia seeds to mix into some greek yogurt and peanut butter! Yummmm
In baking! I’ve used chia flour in bread but would love to try it with whole seeds.
I use chia seeds when I make greek yogurt parfaits. They add the perfect crunch when combined with yogurt, agave and almond slices!
I’ve never had chia seeds before! I would love to try them in oatmeal! 🙂
I have yet to try them in overnight oats so I think that would be first…although that chocolate chia seed pudding looks amazing!
In a smoothie!
I have just recently discovered the wonderfulness that is overnight oats and would love to see how chia seeds can make my morning breakfast even better! I have been trying to find them in the local stores, but so far no luck… so, I think this is a perfect giveaway 🙂
I would love to win chia seeds because I am all about fitting in nutrition in my meals wherever I can – I’m all about adding fibre/protein/other goodness to my meals! 🙂
I would love a bag! I would put them in granola, in oatmeal, and atop any type of smoothie 🙂 Hope I win!
I would use the Chia seeds in my morning Oatmeal!!
In ice cream! with some chocolate syrup. 🙂
I learn new ways of eating chia every day :). Ok… not every day but often! Overnight oats, with yogurt, added to a bowl of cereal, sprinkled on a toast… all soooo good!
I definitely want to try that coconut granola :).
I would love to try them in my morning oatmeal! With bananas and peanut butter!
I love your giveaways, you always have good stuff.
I never had chia seeds before, and i was going to buy them at whole foods this past weekend, but they were all sold out in the bulk section.
I would love to try them in oatmeal, smoothies, and yogurt!
I think I’d like to try them for extra crunch in my ice cream, or pop a few over my cereal and strawberries!
I would love to try them in my salads!
My fave ways to use chia are with overnight oats (can’t get enough!) and mixed in with a banana and cottage cheese. Love me some chias 🙂
I would love to try them in a PB sandwich to get it some extra texture “flare”!
I have searched every grocery store in the Cincinnati area in search of these with no luck 🙁 I would love to try these in my oatmeal and on top of my pb&banana sandwiches (I usually have 1 daily)!
Mmm, I would love to try them in a smootie!
Ooh, I really want to try them in your overnight oats, as well as your coconut granola. Ive never had these before but am dying to try them!
chia seeds in my protein balls (oats, peanut butter, dried blueberries!)
Being gluten and lactose free, I sometimes struggle with being too creative with getting essential vitamins and nutrients. I would literally use the chia seeds in just about anything… but specifically a THICK smoothie so that I can have it in place of the ice cream that I am ALWAYS craving and cannot have unless I take medicine. MMMMMM… DELICIOUS and heavenly!!
I’d definitely use them in my greek yogurt bowls!
Never tried the seeds before but am dying to try them in a smoothie!
I have always always wanted to try chia seeds since seeing them all over the blog world a few months back…. I just can’t seem to find them at my local store!!!
I am working to perfect my overnight night oats recipe and I would love to add chia seeds to thicken my daily oats!!!
This is such an awesome giveaway!!!!!!!
I would like to try thing on anything!! I’ve never had them before. I imagine in smoothies would be great!
Lots of good ideas! I’m thinking a yogurt bowl or overnight oats would be a good way for me to try them out. 🙂
I’m new to chia seeds as well, but I love them in my dough boy smoothies (via KERF)! They provide an awesome texture!
I’ve tried Overnight Oats before and I feel like they would be so much better with a smattering (word? don’t know, dont’t care!) of chia seeds to thicken. I’ve also seen chia seed pudding all over the blog world which really looks amazing!
I would add them to my pumpkin cranberry bread! YUM!
I love Chia Seeds in my oatmeal! They really bulk it up! I was a little skeptical about them at first, but know I’m in love 😉
I would love to try chia seeds on my pb & banana toast and and in my salads.
ooh! i’ve been reading about these infamous chia seeds from your blog, and wanted to start adding them to my morning smoothie (also inspired when i started reading your blog) 🙂 i love giveaways!
I would eat them in my breakfast yogurt every morning!
Woot woot, I’ve been picking up a bag of these every time I’m at the grocery store and then putting it back down because of the price tag and I’m scared to spend money and not like them…BUT winning them would make me confront my fears! Fingers crossed.
I’d love to try chia seeds on a bagel or pancake with PB and bananas. I’ve had them in oatmeal a few times, which I love!
Yay for giveaways!
I will be putting those bad-boys in my oatmeal if I am the lucky winner 🙂
I would love to try the chia seed pudding that you made! That look yummy!!!
Cookies!
Want to try them in overnight oats, in banana bread, mixed in with a creamy salad dressing, doing a handstand and throwing the peace sign…
Okay, maybe not that far, but definitely the first 3 ways. 😉
I’d add them to Greek yogurt
Chia Fresca! so refreshing and energizing… Put chia seeds in the bottom of a glass. Add 1/4 cup water (I use coconut or sparkling) The chia seeds will swell. Add 1 tsp Stevia and 1 tbsp. Lemon Juice. Mix well and devour.
I haven’t tried these yet but would love to try them in my granola recipe!
i would LOVE to enjoy chia seeds in my PB granola bars i make!! i have never tried them before and would love to have the chance!!
Since I am a huge fan thanks to you on my morning bagelwich. They would definitely be tossed on there.
Also I really need to get on board with these overnight oats everyone is raving about. Maybe these can help kick start that off.
I would try chia seeds in your peanut butter protein bars recipe!
I add them to my smoothies already, but I think I will start adding them to my Greek yogurt as well.
I would love to try chia seeds in my oatmeal and salads! 🙂
