Welcome to Day 3 of Giveaway Week!

Just jumping on the Giveaway bandwagon? Be sure to check out this week’s previous goodies:

Alright, so you may have caught on this morning, but today’s giveaway is one that I am really, really excited about.

As you guys know, I’m a FitFluential Ambassador and have been working a bit with GNC. Well last week, I ended up getting an email saying that they had an abundance of chia seeds from  The Chia Co. and that, since they knew I was a fan of them, they were going to be sending me a shipment. Whatever I decided to do with them from there was up to me. I thought, “okay, this is pretty awesome.”

Then, I received the shipment and opened up the box…

Holy chia seeds!

So the cool thing about TheChiaCo. is that the raw material is sourced directly from Australia.  Australia’s raw material and nutrition standards are much higher than they are here in the US.  The product is actually tested by a third party company to ensure safety, purity, etc., and they come in both white and black varieties. These chia seeds are ONLY available at GNC.com.

This particular brand of chia also contains more fiber, omega3, and protein than I’ve seen in other brands; plus they’re gluten free! I’ve been eating them like crazy in oatmeal, on English muffins, on top of rice cakes, and even in my water.

But enough about me…let’s get to that giveaway! As much as I love my chia seeds, I am obviously in possession of WAY more chia seeds than I can eat in a lifetime right now, so why not share the wealth a bit, right? 🙂

Lucky for you guys, there’s going to be more than one winner for today’s giveaway:

Each winner will receive three bags of chia seeds + a chia tank top!

  12. I actually have NEVER had chia seeds! Ahhh i know crazy right?!? I follow a lot of health/fitness blogs (yours is one of my favorites, no lie!) and always see chia seeds incorporated in so many different meals. I know the health benefits of chia seeds are AMAZING in so many different ways. From weight management to antioxidants, they are truly an remarkable little seed! Being a frugal college student with a true passion for a healthy lifestyle, I'd love to be able to add extra nutrition into my daily diet. I'm always on the run between nursing school and my hectic life, adding a quick health booster to everyday foods would be wonderful!

  468. I confess that I've never had Chia seeds, but I've been dyyying to try them!!! I've done the flaxseed thing and it's worked out, so when I finally get around to getting chia seeds, I imagine using them in some similar ways to that: sprinkling on top of my English muffins, my oatmeal, into my yogurt. Once I get a taste for them, we'll see what else I'll do!

  481. I really want to add Chia seeds to my oatmeal and in my salads. I keep seeing y'all on my #Fitfluential stream talking about them and I have yet to try them! Just tweeted and putting on my Facebook page (Victoria Runs) Thanks!

  482. I've never tried chia seeds! I've always wanted to. I'd use that in EVERYTHING like I do with peanut butter ;) I can imagine using that sprinkled on a chicken too... mm! It's hard enough for me to get a necessary amount of fiber and omega 3- it would be nice to have an extra boost! I'm also a college student, always on the go- it would be awesome if I could have that in my "to go snacks"!

  498. I've always wanted to try Chia seeds. I've done Flax Seed and thought it brought a nutty flavor to my eggs, oats, shakes, etc. From what I see from your reviews, I think it would be a good addition to my meals.

  531. I love chia seeds in my protein smoothies, especially after a long workout. The chias make my smoothies thick and delicious! YUM!

  533. I absolutely love it in my oats or bran in the morning. It makes it so much more filling and "voluminous." Of course it's essential to let them plump up a bit to do their work and then mix it in with the oats/bran + protein powder.

  • The perfect end to a great birthday with my favorite people.🤗🎉💙
  • Man, time flies! 10 years ago today, we said “I do” and partied our faces off all night long. A whole lot has changed over the past decade, but one thing remains the same...you are still one lucky man @jhoran1314 😜 . Thank you for always putting up with my crap, for being an amazing dad to our boys, and helping me be the best version of me. These past 10 years have been awesome, and fun, and hard, and so rewarding...but we’re just getting started. 😉 Love you more than you’ll ever know 😘 . #10thweddinganniversary #anniversary #highschoolsweethearts #weddinganniversary #bestisyettocome
  • Merry Christmas from The Horan Fam! 🎄🎅🏻😍✨
  • In an effort to help teach the boys that Christmas is about so much more than just what’s under the tree, we set out this morning to spread some kindness and holiday cheer 🎅🏻💕 . We made stops at both Brinley’s Bags and @rmhc_albany, met some wonderful and caring people, and donated some items from each of their wish lists. . While I’d love to say the boys really got it, they were still fairly impartial to the whole thing. But I can absolutely say that I think we’ve found a new Christmas Eve tradition, and I can only hope that, with time, they’ll be as excited about it as I am 🤗 #MOK19 #spreadcheer #spreadkindness #christmaseve #brinleysbags #rmhc #seasonofgiving
