We have had the pleasure in working with Salba Smart in the past and we are thrilled to have been invited to be a Smart Ambassador for their company. Salba Smart is a retailer the Salba chia, which is the most nutrient dense form of Salvia hispanica L. (chia) found. Plus it is the richest whole food source of Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber found in nature. And it is a complete Protein; packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants! What that means is it is a powerhouse for your nutrition.
Being a Salba Smart Ambassador also means that we are going to be sharing with you information about Chia and how you can easily boost your health by easily adding Chia into your family’s foods. They won’t even know how good it is for them! *wink*
Here is just a few facts about Chia:
Salba Chia absorbs 14x its weight in water…so it leaves you feeling full!
Salba Chia has a neutral flavor…so add it to anything without altering taste!
Salba Chia is white in color…so it’s easy to hide in recipes!
To kick off our new association, we are sharing a fabulous Recipe, courtesy of Salba Smart.

I LOVE Salba and oatmeal (whole rolled organic, of course) and make it not only for breakfast but for lunch sometimes. I also toss chia seeds into smoothies, sauces, loafs and cookies. Your recipe for oatmeal is super special!
I knew that chia is good for one’s health, but I didn’t realize how good it is until I read your review. I never thought about cooking oatmeal with apple cider. Thanks for the recipe.
My daughter makes oatmeal for her and my husband every night. She is always trying to do better nutritionally and she needs any added protein she can. This would be a great addition to many foods but especially nice on their oatmeal. Hiding in the nutrients is something she has to do for my husband. 🙂
