Needed beach, sun, sand, and simple foods this weekend, so we headed out to….Montauk baby. Wondered why my bag was so heavy on the train station, but it was packed with organic avocados, bananas, corn, berries, liquid vitamins, etc. Perfect midsummer dinner by the way – sans alcohol – but I had a great time. Got a few meditations in there, caught up on sleep, swam in the ocean, went for morning runs – couldn’t have asked for more…

Everyday for breakfast we ate a berry and banana fruit salad topped with chia seeds. So good!

Chia seeds are great for stabilizing blood sugar.  But how does the chia seed help with this? Both the gelling action of the seed, and it’s unique combination of soluble and insoluble fiber combine to slow down your body’s conversion of starches into sugars. If you eat chia with a meal, it will help you turn your food into constant, steady energy rather than a series of ups and downs that wear you out. Pretty nice, right?
