About Me
Chia microgreens are not just for Chia pets! They are easy to grow and packed with nutritious goodies for your brain, bones and cardiovascular health. They offer even more healthier benefits than the seeds. You can add them to your smoothies, salads or as a garnish. They are so easy to grow and they are very pretty too🌱
💚High in calcium
Great for strong teeth and bones. Calcium also benefits your cardiovascular system too. Boosts heart health and enables nutrients and oxygen to reach throughout your body.
💚Brain Boost
They contain omega-3 fatty acids known to improve brain and cognitive functioning. There is current research suggesting that they may help to prevent Alzheimer's.
💚Blood Booster
Chlorophyll is excellent for our blood. Chia microgreen vitamins include K, E, C, & A.
Chia seeds are a simple and fun way to boost your health and protect you from disease.
The next time you see a Chia Pet think of it as an excellent health boost that loves you back💚
How To Grow ~
💚Use a tray or a small pot that can retain moisture without water pooling on the surface. Seeds will be scattered on top of the soil.
💚Make sure your seeds are packaged for sprouting or if using seeds from your health food store that they are from the states. If coming from out of the country they may have been treated to comply with US standards which could affect their sprouting capabilities.
💚Spray/mist the seeds once you have scattered them over the soil. You can cover them with plastic wrap or a lid to retain moisture but to keep it simple I place mine on my window sill in the kitchen.
💚Once they have begun to lean over it is time to harvest in about 10+ days and you can cut them at soil level and rinse with cold water. They are great in smoothies and salads. You don't want to cook them as that will destroy their nutrients.
💚If you don't plan on using them immediately, minimize watering about 8 hours before you harvest them. This will make them dryer and easier to store.
This is a really fun project for your kids and your grandkids to jump on board and learn how easy it is to grow healthy plants right in their kitchens that they can eat💚
Enjoy💚
Living a healthy life is not complicated! In fact it can be really simple and fun too! I invite you to check out my latest cookbook ~

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
