Seedy & Nutty

IMG_0968-2

Good [hot & steamy] morning!!

IMG_0969-2

I discovered two frozen Kashi waffles in my freezer yesterday – I don’t think I’ve had this breakfast in a trimester! It sure is a fun one though.

I layered in sliced banana, nut butter, blueberries and greek yogurt – with lots of chia on top.

Stack

I restocked my chia seeds via Amazon this week! [Chia Seeds Direct no longer sells 2 pound bags and 4# is just too much

Sad smile this !
)

IMG_0768

That’s not just any old nut butter on top – it’s Sarah’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Nutty Butter! She brought me a taste yesterday – delicious! I love the thick texture. Sarah is taking the steps to become a nutty butter biz woman – very exciting.

        I’m eating those right now! Before I even saw your post 🙂 They are not discontinued. A year or so back Kashi couldn’t keep up with waffle production, so they didn’t have them for a while. Then they discontinued some varieties and came out with the 9-grain. I love them b/c they have a nice hint of vanilla!

    Have you checked the bulk bins in your markets for Chia seeds? I buy them at Earth Fare for $6.99 a pound which is quit a bit cheaper than the little health food store in my small town. I do have to drive an hour to get them so I stock up when we have to go to the city. I know some people don’t like bulk bins. I don’t have a problem with them for dry things that people aren’t going to stick their fingers in to sneak a bite.

          Just fished the package out of the recycling. They are the 7 Grain ones – “whole grain” not “whole wheat.” The only ingredients I have problems with are oat fiber (why not just whole oats – I don’t need more fiber) and soy lecithin. But both are probably a minimal amount so I’m OK with them as a whole

    Mmm, I ran out of frozen waffles a while ago but those look good! Luckily I have a stock of different kinds of homemade frozen waffles + pancakes in the freezer! You should make a big batch one morning and freeze them yourself! Cheaper and healthier 🙂 And your comment about the 4 lbs. of chia seeds made me laugh. The last time I bought chia seeds I bought from Chia Seeds Direct and bought 6 lbs… think I went a bit overboard? It was the best price though!

    Chia seeds! You totally got me going on them, and I really like them! However, recently I had a conversation with a new client of mine Bill Anderson, http://www.chiabill.com/index-4.html and he scolded me about eating them whole (not cracked or gelled), stating something about natural inhibitors to protect them if eaten by birds or animals so when animals pass the seeds they are still able to sprout. Therefore eating them whole is not allowing the seed’s innate nutritional properties to be made bio-available for absorption and utilization by the body. Have you heard of this?

    I now keep a jar of gelled chia seeds (1/3c seeds to 2c water) in my frige and scoop a tablespoon or so over my yummies in the morning. Thankfully the taste has not changed and I do not mind the texture, or I would have ground them in my grinder and started eating them in powder form! Happy Friday!

        No marketing ploy per say, I am a real estate broker and my husband and I own a winery on the central coast of California.

        But oh my goodness, apparently the verdict is still out. I just searched the internet looking for an unbiased definitive answer and I saw both “enzyme inhibited like flax” and “too small to worry about soaking”. If you have a resource that has convinced you to sprinkle and not worry about soaking or grinding, please share. Thank you!

          I just mean since he’s selling them he might just be saying that.

          Not research per se, but I consider Dr. Weil to be a trusted resource: http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA365093/Chia-for-Health.html

          Other than this one (which isn’t really on topic), I can’t find too many ground vs. whole scientific articles after a quick search: http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?Aktion=ShowAbstractBuch&ArtikelNr=100818&ProduktNr=232822

          But every source I’ve read (from women’s magazines to health pros like Dr. Oz) have said they do not have to be ground. I’d be surprised if everyone had it wrong.

            Searching for “ground vs whole” as opposed to “soaking vs raw” yielded very different results. I concur with your rationale and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share it with me!

            I had read that Dr. Oz suggested soaking but apparently it was not for nutritional value…what was I thinking? 😉

    Those waffles look AMAZING. I’ve always been a die-hard oatmeal girl, but I’m trying to branch out….you are very convincing. I mean really, anything with PB in the morning sounds delicious and nutritious to me. Gotta get all the calories I can into my meals because I’m trying to gain weight! Maybe some maple syrup action too? And the Greek yog is a great idea for getting that extra protein kick in. I love carb-y breakfasts, but I have to get creative with getting the amount of protein that I need.

    Ok came up with a better question: Do chia seeds go rancid like flax eventually does? Contemplating buying the cheapest price per pound but it’s a 5 lb bag but don’t want to end up tossing any of it because it takes me too long to go through it. Would appreciate your knowledge. ^_^
