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 for sure use them in smoothies!!
The hubs and I are totally into eating fresh foods now. We love throwing in something for a little extra crunch. I think I would use them on a salad instead of a crouton, deff in a smoothie. Send me some Chai Seeds!

I have a random question…where did you get that cute flower-ish white bowl that you have your chocolate chia seed pudding and coconut granola in (and typically your overnight oats)? It’s really cute and it looks like a good size too. Thanks!!
it was actually my grandma’s, so i’m really not sure where she got it. :/ i like it too!
Chia seeds are great for helping your body stay hydrated (it’s fancy science that is sort of over my head!) so I would add them to a bowl of overnight oats to enjoy before a long marathon-training run!
ps – your blog introduced me to overnight oats which have changed my LIFE!
aw, so glad to hear that!
I would first try chia seeds in my oatmeal!
(I’m not sure how I feel about them on bread- but hey, that’s what I first thought about your jelly and cheese bagelwich idea and now I’m a huge fan!)
🙂
I’ve been contemplating buying them – was actually just at the grocery store & almost bought them but didn’t want to pay the $. I’m reading this as I’m finishing a protein smoothie and thinking how wonderful chia seeds may be with this (or my overnight oats & many greek yogurt snacks!).
In my overnight oats… it needs some thickening up!! 🙂
I would LOVE to try out some of the amazing recipes you make with your chia seeds! I looked for them yesterday in my local health store but they weren’t there to my dismay:(! I’ll keep my fingers crossed to win these babies!
I would looooooove to add them to my oatmeal… since you’re always talking about them. I gotta at some point give them a try 🙂
I love chia seeds! I add them to smoothies to make them thicker! Xantham gum makes my stomach cramp so chia seeds are the perfect solution.
