Chia Bolognese

Chia seeds are a great addition to any meal; a nice inclusion of omega-3 fats, antioxidants fibre iron and calcium. Looking back on some recipes I’ve made with chia seeds has reminded me about their versatility. They’re so adaptable that you don’t even realize they’re there sometimes, like for example in this following chia bolognese.

It’s good to know that chia seeds are not only a nice addition to smoothies and porridge, but also savory dishes for that extra bulk which keeps you full for longer. I’m looking forward to discovering more ways to use them, but I’ll definitely be putting together this platter again first.
