Did you know that chia seeds get their own day? Yep, that's right. March 23 was National Chia Seed Day! Didn't celebrate? No worries. You can celebrate all year long thanks to the chia seed-packed hot cereal from Nature's Path.
I received free samples of the Maple Almond Crunch and Cinnamon Apple Crisp for review.
Instead of being made with grains, these certified gluten-free cereals feature chia and pumpkin seeds for a powerful punch of vital nutrients. And let's not forget about the plant-based watermelon seed protein and nutrient-dense healthy fats from ALA Omega-3s. That nutrient can boost heart health, support mood balance, ease joint pain, and help with dry skin.
So what does that mean when you eat it?
I'm always looking for a breakfast that will fill me up and keep me from falling into the mid-morning snack rut. I've got to go from breakfast to lunch and stay full! So that means I need protein.
I'm used to hot cereal for breakfast. My usual is a bowl of oatmeal (Rocky Road Oatmeal from Rocco DiSpirito's Now Eat This! Diet cookbook). It's easy, it's microwaveable, and it's satisfying.
The same can be said for the Nature's Path Grain Free Hot Cereals! Just take out one of the single-serve bags, pour the contents into a bowl, add water, and microwave. Stir and enjoy! There are 9 grams of protein in each serving!
My favorite was definitely the Maple Almond Crunch. It's got sweet maple and crunchy roasted almonds.
Cinnamon Apple Crisp was good, too, with its warm cinnamon and crisp apples.
Or just buy both flavors and switch it up every morning! These hot cereals are great for people on gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, and paleo diets! Let these cereals fill you up and give you a great start to your day.
