Chia For You and Mia!

April 19, 2011 by Julie 1,045 Comments

Get ready for some giveaway fun!!!

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…

Bagelwiches…

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!

Be sure to follow PBFingers on Instagram and Facebook!

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    I would probably use the chia seeds for overnight oats, puddings, smoothies, and probably to add extra moisture and nutrition to baked goods (like baked oats!). I’ve never used chia seeds before, but they look amazing!

    I can’t tell you how many times I have picked up chia seeds at the store, read about them and then I put them back. I have never pulled the trigger becuase I was not sure what I would put them in, on etc. Now that I continue to get brave with my food choices, options I think I would love to try them n a smoothie or on a bagel. Who knows I might get really brave and try them in overnight oats 🙂

    Love me some ch-ch-chia! I throw them into everything these days, but actually would love to have a big bag of these to experiment with things like Chia Fresca (the chia seed DRINK) and whatnot. 2 pounds would probably offer me quite the opportunity to go a li’l crazy, doncha think? 😀

    There are endless possibilites for Chia seeds! However, I prefer them in smoothies and overnight oats….cause they help thicken things up so well!
