DOES IT WORK?
The product promises to boost your nutrition and increase your energy while providing a feeling of fullness with only a couple of tablespoons.
I used the product for a period of one month. It can be consumed as breakfast cereal, but I tried it as an afternoon snack with natural yogurt.
Nutritionally – WORKS! 2 tbsps provide 15% of daily recommended iron intake, 16% of fibre, 6g of plant-based protein and 2g of Omega-6 and Omega 3 fatty acids.
Energy-wise – WORKS! I noted a good boost to energy levels, specifically because I simply felt healthier.
Feeling of fullness with 2 tbsps – WORKS SOMEWHAT! 2 tbsps did not make me feel full. I used 3 tbsps. With a tall glass of water, I felt fully satisfied.
PROS
The nutritional content is absolutely incredible.
It assists GREATLY with regulating digestion and increasing energy levels.
I plan to continue consuming Qi’a Superfood as part of my daily diet!
CONS
Taste is not fantastic. The original tastes like, well, seeds. While the Cranberry Vanilla and Apple Cinnamon taste a bit better, they also have more sugar.
And who likes to have seeds in their teeth?! Not me! Drink lots of water and keep tooth floss around.
Love love love this cereal. Cinnamon Pumpkin seed and Creamy Coconut are my personal favorites. I mix with Greek yogurt and let sit for 5 minutes and it feels like a treat in the mornings!!
Mmm yum. I have an issue with wheat and have been really missing Cream of wheat cereal. GF oats are good but expensive. With Q'ia superfood cereal I feel like I'm getting more nutrition for my dollar. I buy Creamy Coconut, add a little banana and honey and it's so delicious!
It's only 5 dollars for seven servings here in Canada
I've been eating the cranberry and vanilla one everyday for breakfast for the past month. It's a good source of omegas, protein and fibre. The chia seeds make this super filling. It may not be sweet enough for those with a sweet tooth though. The texture takes some getting used to. In terms of price, it's a little pricey since each package only contains about 7 servings. It's about $9 for a package. I try to stock up when they go on sale. I would like to see a bigger size offering to reduce the amount of plastic.
It is a great breakfast cereal with chia, buckwheat and hemp. it is very healthy with six grams of protein and four grams of fibre, very low in sugar and it is also organic. I suggest putting it on top of parfaits instead of granola (which is how I have it). It tastes great and you can have it continuously without getting sick of it. I suggest it to all people without sensitivity to nuts, soy or milk/
