Chia Seeds are a very simple and powerful way to add more nutrition to your diet 
Chia seeds have many valuable reasons to consume them.

1. They have the ability to slow down digestion which can prevent blood sugar spikes.

2. Because they expand when they come in contact with liquid means they fill up your stomach which helps to create that full feeling

Before you go to bed put a big tablespoon full of chia seeds in a cup of coconut or almond milk. You can also use regular milk. Stir and then let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.
Just before you serve it add fresh fruit.
