Health Benefits of the Ingredients
Ingredients:
Chia seeds: It is widely known and heard that chia seeds are a “superfood” that have a variety of benefits, but do you really know why they are so good for you? Let’s dig in!
Chia seeds are packed with fiber with around 11 grams per ounce. Chia seeds are a great way to help fulfill your daily fiber needs and intake. Chia seeds can help with digestion as well. Since chia seeds have so much fiber in them, it prevents constipation, therefore helping greatly with the body detoxifying by letting out excess waste. Chia seeds are also a great source of protein for vegetarians who get their source of protein from things other than meat. Chia seeds have around 4.4 grams of protein per ounce which can help with building muscle, as well as fulfilling needs and cutting back cravings. (ActiveBeat).
Milk: Milk is packed with a bunch of calcium, which helps strong bones. Just one cup of milk contains 29% of the recommended daily average. Milk is a great way to make sure that growing children are able to have strong bones (Supernutritious).
Maple syrup: Maple syrup has a variety of antioxidants and minerals in it. These include calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, and manganese. These antioxidants can fight free radicals, which are cells that are found to cause serious diseases (Facty Health) (Healthline).
