Healthy and delicious
This is a great snack packed with nutrients. I love the banana one. I love chia seeds. The only ingredients are either fruit, Cocoa powder, coconut, etc a dairy free milk and chia seed gel. It's a clean eating snack!
The Chia Co. Chia Pods are an amazing, healthy breakfast or snack alternative for anyone interested in healthy eating. I've tried 3 flavours: Mango, Blueberry and Coconut. Of the three, the mango was the sweetest, although none have any added sugars. These are basically a pudding made of chia, Coconut milk and real foods (in these cases mango, blueberry and coconut!) Nothing is artificial and there are no dairy or animal products so these are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Some people may not enjoy the texture of these products, they are very like a tapioca type texture, so they might be too goopy for some to handle. I don't mind this texture at all. It's refreshing to eat a product that isn't super sweet, you can really taste the natural flavour in these. Having said that, they might actually not be sweet enough for some people to enjoy them, it can take some getting used to not having added sugar in a product like this.
Chia is excellent for managing cholesterol levels, adds great fibre to your diet and these contain good fats. Each pod comes in around the 150 calories mark. I find these keep me feeling full for the whole morning and I definitely don't find myself reaching for something junky like a muffin or danish after eating one of these.
The biggest negative is that they are a little on the pricey side. They range from about $3.50-$4.00 each.
If you're health conscious and haven't tried these yet, I say go for it!
