Salba Organic Chia Review

If you read my blog you know that I am a huge fan of Chia seeds. Salba Chia was generous to send me some samples of their products, Salba Organic Chia Seeds, Salba Organic Premium Ground Chia Seeds and Salba Boost Chia Seeds. The first thing that excites me about Salba is that several of their products are USDA Organic Certified and all of their products are Non GMO verified! As someone who is very into clean eating and organic food this is good news!

Salba Premium Ground

Salba has been around since 2006. They pride themselves on their organic farming practices. Salba chia is grown in South America in Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. I love the variety of products. The seeds are awesome but this is the first time I have seen Premium Ground Chia Seeds. The Ground chia seeds are my new favorite because they are great to use when baking, or in smoothies, yogurt or to blend in your favorite oatmeal. I also love the single serving packs that are easy to stick in your gym bag or to bring with you when you are traveling. I also learned something truly cool about Chia from reading the Salba Blog. Did you know that chia can be used as an egg replacer when baking? To find out more read “Salba Chia: the egg replacement.

Organic Rainbow Chard Chia Smoothie

Organic Rainbow Chard Chia Smoothie Recipe

Organic Rainbow Chard Chia Smoothie Recipe

Green smoothies are always on the menu at my house. I just can’t get enough of spinach and recently discovered how tasty Rainbow Chard is in a smoothie. Soon our organic garden will be full of fresh spinach and rainbow chard. Until then I found some Organic Rainbow Chard, the cousin of Swiss Chard at our local Co op Food Store. Rainbow Chard is packed full of healthy nutrients, copper, manganese, magnesium and even natural sodium which is great fro athletes who are constantly trying to keep salt levels in balance during the hot summer months.  Rainbow Chard is high in Vitamin K (I am not a doctor but please check first before adding this to your smoothie if you are on blood thinners).  By adding Rainbow Chard and Chia to a smoothie you are drinking a smoothie that is packed with a superfood punch!

  1. I’ve tried making flatbreads and rolled the dough right onto the chia seeds – so good! I’d like to try them in smoothies!

  2. Love Chia seeds! I eat them as a “porridge” for breakfast and use them in a cracker made of just seeds (chia, sesame, pepita, sunflower)

  3. I love adding a scoop of chia in my chopped salads for lunch for more nutrition!
