Is chia paleo? Possibly, Mark Sisson has written about it three times. The main messages seem to be; don’t rely on it for your Omega 3, see how your own body tolerates it and don’t eat it everyday. Chia seeds are high in phytates, an antinutrient, which make it difficult for our body to absorb the many vitamins and minerals also found in chia.
That said, chia is a delicious sometime food that is easy to prepare and delicious to eat. I did it this way last night and it was great for breakfast this morning.
Ingredients
1/3 cup chia seeds
1 275ml can of coconut milk
1 tablespoon of yucon syrup
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
