Chia seeds have a nutty flavor to them; they are a great way to include into your morning pancakes as they are loaded with antioxidants and have a high quality protein in them. They are packed with more calcium than milk, more omega-3s than salmon and more fiber than prunes; it’s the super seed that should be in your diet every day. This recipe is for 4 people with 545 calories per serving, so I would have it only as a treat every once and a while.
