Superfood Cereals - I'm kind of obsessed!


I first tried this superfood/power cereal at my in-laws place, and I've been thinking about it ever since. I found some online (since you certainly can't find anything this weird in stores up here in the north!) and have been eating it for breakfast for the past few days now.... and I find myself a bit obsessed. 
I love this strange stuff!

It's a delightful blend of chia seeds, hemp hearts and buckwheat (among other things), that you mix with a bit of milk, soy or yogurt and it magically thickens up (thanks to the chia seeds). It's loaded with plant protein, fiber and omega-3's. 

I am loving (and needing) the energy boost these days, and find solace in the fact that I'm guaranteeing myself some extra nutrition (since I'm a nursing mamma and essentially a full-time milk-factory!).


(I've now tried Nature's Path's Qi'a and Holy Crap Cereal and they are both amazing in my opinion)

I too am completely obsessed with Qi'a. I tried it at a health fair several months ago and find so much more filling and delicious than just chai seed pudding. yum! going to make some n o w <3

Ooh! I don't think we have those brands in Australia, but I'm sure there's something similar... or since you kindly posted a few of the ingredients, maybe I'll whip some up :) Totally agree that a busy schedule is all the more reason for proper nutrition.
