Does anyone eat chia seeds as a pre- or post- workout food? A friend suggested it to me as they are high in protein and omega 3 fatty acids. Just wondering if anyone has tried them and has any opinions/suggestions. Thanks!
I have not but they are supposed to be super good for you as well as energy boosting… Figure ill start trying them out in the winter during training…
Beware… there’s a side effect of long green hair emerging from your hair follicles.
Yes, I have been using them for the past 3 months, and they seem to really work. Mix up a 1/3 cup of dry chia seeds with 2 cups of water and store in refrigerator. I’ll take 1 tablespoon after training, and 1 before bed. Doesn’t taste like anything, and like I said, so far so good.
There is a lot of information on them out there also…
Mmmmmmmmmmm…
Not saying it’s magic or placebo, but a chia fresca is really refreshing. Mix 8-12 oz water, 3 tsp chia seeds, juice of 1 lime, and 1 tsp sugar (or none at all). Tasty.
Chia seeds…is that sora like a ChiaPet abortion that we drink? Why do you hate life?
I started eating them a few month ago!!!
tried them, no noticeable ergogenic effects. They’re very high in fiber, so watch out for the side effects…
Do i have to scrape them off the little piggy?
