Chia Pet Food
Posted by admin under: Recipes .
No, not what you feed your Chia Pet, but eating that critter yourself for a filling and nutritious trail breakfast. Don’t look at me that way, Brett over at his blog is the one who said it. Chia seeds.
I’ve used them with much success on the West Coast Trail and also in our recent Pasayten hike. Both Nigel and I used them two out of three mornings on the Pasayten trip. We both experienced feeling a lot more hydrated in the mornings and also in need of less mid-morning food. Our breakfast sustained up well beyond lunch time with strenuous hiking.
Go to his blog for nutrition and preparation information. The next time someone asks you what’s for breakfast on the trail you can say, “Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia!”
