Chia Seed Fruit Salad

I attend a local Raw Foods Class and everybody that attends brings a dish for a pot luck at the end. I brought this dish for this months class. Here is a little bit of information about chia seeds.


Chia seeds contain more omega 3′s than any other natural source. You do not have to grind them to release their goodness like flax seeds. Chia seeds are easily digestible and provide one of the highest degrees of anti-oxidant activity. Because of their unique blend of protein, essential Fats, fiber, complex carbohydrates, and antioxidants, chia is one of the best among seeds and grains for providing energy to your body.
