Notes: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner feature a high-protein seed that helps to compliment each meal. One ounce of chia seeds (2 tablespoons) contains 9 grams of fat, 5 milligrams of sodium, 11 grams of dietary fiber, 4 grams of protein, 18% of the recommended daily intake of calcium, 27% phosphorus, and 30% manganese. It is also high in iron and is a great seed to use to compliment almost any dish. It can be added to fresh juices, smoothies, dressings, sauces, stews, and desserts and snacks of many varieties. Give this meal plan a try.

We recommend that you keep chia seed in good supply. It store well for several years and when used properly it is a super compliment to a balanced diet.
