You might have heard some buzz around Chia seeds recently. I've been trying to consume them in various forms for the last 
6 months or so. I know people have shared one method on Tik-Tok called "The Internal Shower" which involved drinking Chia
Seeds mixed with Fresh Lemon water. I wasn't a particularly big fan of this. Chia seeds go like Frogspawn in Water and
are pretty gross to drink like this. But fear not I have an awesome way to consume Chia seeds! 

I've been making a Chia seed + Cacao Powder Milkshake each morning for breakfast and it's so good it feels like I have
a cheat code for life. Not only can I now look forward to Chocolate Milkshake every day of my life, but it's insanely
good for me as well! 

Look at this list of health benefits!

## Chia Seeds

* Highly nutritious. Just 2x tablespoons contains the following:
  * Calories: 138
  * Protein: 4.7 grams
  * Fat: 8.7 grams
  * Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega-3): 5 grams
  * Carbs: 11.9 grams
  * Fiber: 9.8 grams
  * Calcium: 14% of the Daily Value (DV)
  * Iron: 12% of the DV
  * Magnesium: 23% of the DV
  * Phosphorus: 20% of the DV
  * Zinc: 12% of the DV
  * Vitamin B1 (thiamine): 15% of the DV
  * Vitamin B3 (niacin): 16% of the DV
* Packed with Antioxidants
* Help with weight loss 
* Lower risk of Heart Disease
* Improved Bone Health
* Reduced Blood Sugar levels

Isn't all this great? I think we really should be trying to incorporate these into everybody's daily diet. We'd 
be a healthier nation if we did! 

## Cacao Powder

* Highly nutritious. Just 2x tablespoons contains the following:
  * Calories: 130
  * Protein: 7 grams

  * Carbohydrates: 13 grams
  * Fiber: 8 grams
  * Sugar: 0 grams
* Lower blood pressure

Cacao powder is amazing stuff, honestly. 

Did you know? 

* Contains 40x the antioxidants that Blueberries do.
* The highest plant-based source of Iron known to man!
* Packed full of Magnesium, so great for your Heart, Brain and Immune system!
* More Calcium than cows milk!
* Contains Serotonin, Tryptophan, Tyrosine and Phenylethylamine so combats depression by improving your mood and makes you feel good...naturally!

Isn't this mind-blowing? I drink a Chocolate Milkshake every morning for Breakfast, and it turns out it's one of the 
best ways I've ever started my day!

I have to be honest though. I have misled you with the image at the top of this post...My actual milkshakes look more
like this.

Update: I've been asked to add my recipe so here is what I do:

* 3/4 of a Pint of Milk.
* 2x Tablespoons of Chia Seeds
* 2x Tablespoons of Cacao Powder
* 1x Teaspoon of Sugar

I pour the milk into a glass and add the Chia seeds. I then put this in the fridge and leave for 20-30 minutes so the 
Chia seeds can absorb some of the milk and expand. 

After 20-30 minutes I transfer the Milk and Chia Seeds to my blender and add Cacao Powder and Sugar.

> I am adding Sugar because Cacao Powder is very bitter. I am planning to replace Sugar with a natural Sweetener such as Stevia.

Blend and pour!


SO GOOD I MUST BE CHEATING!
