INGREDIENT FACTS & BENEFITS:

Rolled oats: Oats are a great source of dietary fiber called beta-glucan and complex carbohydrates to help keep you satiated and regulated. Eating foods that keep you full may help lower your calorie intake and lose weight if that’s your goal. Oats are loaded with important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Chia seeds: These tiny seeds are high in soluble fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids and loaded with micronutrients! Chia seeds can absorb 10 times their weight in water due to their high soluble fiber content, expanding in your stomach to help keep you full and lower your calorie intake. Eating foods that are higher in protein can help lower your appetite. Chia seeds are higher ALA omega-3s. Our body has a hard time converting ALA into EPA and DHA, if you are vegan/vegetarian it’s highly encouraged that you supplement with plant-sourced EPA and DHA.
