Nutritional Highlights:

• Chia Seeds: Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory agents, promoting heart health and easing arthritis and digestive issues. One ounce contains 27% phosphorus, 18% calcium, and 30% manganese.

• Oats: High in beta-glucan fiber that lowers LDL cholesterol, plus essential nutrients like manganese, selenium, zinc, and iron. A cup of cooked oats provides around 150 calories, 4 grams of fiber, and 6 grams of protein.
