Ultima Replenisher with Chia Seeds

Chia seeds as a Superfood

Chia seeds are one of the latest trends in the health food market, and for a good reason. They are a super food, loaded with omega-3 fatty acid and fiber. Protein and minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc are also present in chia seed. It is thought that they help improve cardiovascular function by assisting to lower cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure, as well as possibly helping with weight loss. Chia seeds are very easy to incorporate in your regular diet, just by adding them to your breakfast, mixing them with a juice, or creating a 'Chia Pudding'.

Chia + Ultima

We mixed a couple teaspoons of chia seeds with a glass of our favorite Ultima flavor (in this case Grape) and let it rest over night in the refrigerator for a super healthy electrolyte drink with the added boost of chia!
