Last month we featured a summer staple, sunflower seeds! This month we wanted to shift our focus to a different type of seed, Chia Seeds from Get Chia! This company has a variety of chia based snacks and bars that you can count on for your Super Food boost. Check out the Get Chia store to get your fill of delicious snacks created with Certified Organic Chia Seeds.
Here are some perks these small but mighty seeds provide:
-Healthy Heart
-Weight Loss
-Energy
-Anti-Aging Antioxidants
Fit Snack Facts:
- Chia seeds contain SIX TIMES more calcium than milk, and more protein than soy
- They are grown on the Salvia Hispanica plant, which is related to mint
- “Chia” is the ancient Mayan word for “strength”
Your May Fit Snack box includes a Strawberry Blast FruitChia Bar. You won’t find any added sugars or preservatives here, just apple puree, apple concentrate, strawberry concentrate, and chia seeds. This is a yummy way to get your daily servings of fruits in, as one bar packs two full servings of fruit and contains over 1000mg of Omega-3. If you’ve tried them in our Fit Snack box, you have likely fallen in love, you can get more of these nutritious bars at www.getchia.com.
Aside from these convenient and delicious bars, chia seeds alone have a light nutty taste making them easy to add to recipes. Be sure to add Get Chia’s other products in your next salad, green smoothie or cup of Greek yogurt!
Can you believe that 30 years ago, chia was mostly used to grow overnight animal plants? Thank goodness companies like Get Chia have brought their A game so that we can benefit from this super-seed and get the most out of our snacks!

We love vegetable juice. We’re those people you see sipping from a bottle of a green juice while running errands, cooling off after an intense Vinyasa class, and scrolling though emails at work. What don’t we love about some juices? The added sugar and unpronounceable ingredients that plague so many juices! We also don’t like it when companies show you a “green juice” thats actually loaded with fruits and barely has any veggies!

This blog post was written by our partners, Enerchi Bites! We love them and hope you will too.- Fit Snack
Enerchi Bites is re-defining the energy bar. How often to you actually eat the whole bar?
Twin sisters, and co-founding duo, Annie and Marla, solved the problem of having to break off a piece and made it easy for you to have a couple bites and or share with a friend.
They also only the added good stuff to their products–superfoods like chia seeds and hemp seed protein, and real-food ingredients like organic unsulphured apple rings and sunflower seeds. Each ingredient adds value to the nutritional and taste profile.
Enerchi bites are free of soy, dairy, and nuts! All the bites are soft and chewable (imagine cookie dough texture) so they are kid-friendly and pre-molar teeth friendly. Now, you don’t have to hesitate to give them to your kids or include them in their school lunch boxes. Enerchi bites are the perfect mid-day snack, giving you not just an opportunity to re-fuel your body, but to also re-fuel your mind. Their zen logo represents the symbol of chi.
It symbolizes and reminds you to take a breath, and a moment to yourself to reflect, munch mindfully, and then voila, the chi, also known as, “vital energy” will flow through you with less effort, and more ease.
