Hello, and welcome to Choosing Chia!
I started this blog as a platform to share my healthy recipes, and show people that eating clean does not mean limiting yourself to a plate of lettuce and almonds. Here you will find mostly vegetarian recipes with a focus on wholesome plant-based ingredients. You will also find options to suit vegan, gluten-free, and other diets.
My philosophy is simple: Eat more plants, eat locally when you can, and focus on fresh & seasonal ingredients. By following these guidelines you’ll easily nourish your body with what you need to feel at your best. Be inspired by what is around you, take trips to your local farmers market, and buy different coloured foods. (not only are they pretty, but every colour is filled with different vitamins and nutrients!)
Also remember not to be too hard on yourself, and indulge in the things you love from time to time. (because what’s life without chocolate?) Every person is different, and eating well is a journey. Listen to your body, be kind to your body, and find the right balance that works for you.
Healthy eating should not feel like a chore. I hope Choosing Chia can inspire you to incorporate more fruits & veggies in your diet, find healthier alternatives to satisfy your sweet tooth (maybe these healthy vegan twix bars) and most importantly to have fun in the kitchen.
Let’s get cooking!
