About Me

My photo
Wine Country, Ca, United States
By day I am a Business owner, Mother and wife, house cleaner, taxi driver and laundress, obtaining physical health through raw food nutrition; this being my personal challenge. Actually I love cooking and learning new things, I am an on & off raw Foodist to help me with my Systemic Lupus; however I do eat raw fish and sometimes raw dairy. I guess I would consider myself a "raw pescatarian" aside from the occasional raw goats milk / cheese once in a blue moon.

Chia!

Chia seeds!  Yes, the Chia Pet stuff.  No, I'm not crazy.
The Aztec Indians apparently ate the stuff and it gave them insane endurance- like running all day long kind of endurance.  I will have to agree, as I had this for breakfast with Buckwheat groats, almond milk and the two fruits you see here-   and I swear I was up until 2:15am when I realized what the frickin time it was.  Holy Schmoley.


Marathon Breakfast

 3 1/2 tablespoons Chia seeds
1/2 cup Buckwheat groats (soaked 8 hrs, rinsed like mad, and dehydrated.  Great crunch. Keeps forever.)
Fruit of choice (mine, of course, looked and tasted amAAAAzing)
Agave and Cinnamon if desired.   I didn't bother.

Chia also is reportedly great for those with diabetes, as is Cinnamon.  Chia is so old that it's become new to doctors who have discovered it.  Or re-discovered it.   Whatever.  ;-)
