My New Obsession…Mamma Chia!

Those of you who know me well know that I became obsessed with chia seeds about a year ago, right after giving birth to my baby girl. I had heard about them on Dr. Oz and immediately went online and bought some. These tiny little seeds are not only filling and easy to consume, but they are high in Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, a great source of antioxidants & minerals, gluten-free AND they can help regulate cholesterol and blood sugar! The Ancient Mayans and Aztecs used chia seeds for their healing power and for energy, many ancient warriors would sustain on chia seeds alone for 24 hours or more. In today’s society, many notable athletes and long-distance runners swear by chia seeds for stamina and health benefits. I had been using them in greek yogurt, in various beverages, mixed with oatmeal, you name it. Right off the bat I was able to drop some of my stubborn baby weight because the chia seeds made me feel SO full, and I also noticed more energy. I’ve stuck with chia seeds every since! Imagine my delight when I saw a beverage product at my local grocery store that had chia seeds in it! It was called Mamma Chia, and I had to have it! I bought a couple and drank one right away when I got home and was blown away, it was SO good! And packed with so many health benefits!

Mamma Chia Vitality Beverage is available in 9 delectable flavors: Blackberry Hibiscus, Cherry Lime, Cranberry Lemonade, Raspberry Passion, Pomegranate Mint, Coconut Mango, Kiwi Lime, Guava Mamma and Grapefruit Ginger. I still think the first flavor I tried, Mamma Chia Coconut Mango, is one of my favorites. They are all so yummy though! It’s hard to believe that this fun and great tasting drink will provide you with 2500mg of Omega-3, 4g of complete protein, 95mg of calcium, as well as fiber and antioxidants! As added benefits, Mamma Chia Vitality Beverages also provide you with natural vitality and are organic, non-GMO, gluten-free and vegan! I’ve been using them as meal replacements in the morning, as a mid-day pick-me-up, or even before meals out at restaurants so I won’t eat as much!

Stay tuned for another blog post about Mamma Chia’s newest product, Chia Squeeze Vitality Snack!

Note: After falling in love with Mamma Chia from buying the Vitality Beverages on my own, I was lucky enough to receive a nice set of their products to sample so I could try them all. I received the complimentary products in exchange for writing a blog review, however all opinions of the product are my own.

  1. I'm a huge health nut and I'm always on the lookout for new products, so a few years ago while I was at Krisp Beverages & Natural Foods I discovered Mamma Chia sitting on the shelf next to my usual beverages. I was pleasantly surprised to find a drink that had my beloved chia seeds already incorporated, that saved me the trouble of making my own drinks. I decided to give it a shot and fell in love immediately. Since then, Mamma Chia has been a constant staple in my diet. I have yet to try the squeeze but I'm sure I will love them as well. @adrianna0325

  2. I just tried the Cherry Lime today! It was delicious! I will be buying more for sure! Can't wait to try the other flavors as well as the new squeeze!

  3. Never heard of Mamma Chia, but interested in trying! It looks awesome – and healthy! My Twitter handle is @GlamKaren. Thanks for the giveaway!
