I just made some with frozen cherries and plan to eat it with plain yogurt for breakfast (rather than buying flavored yogurt). http://ohsheglows.com/2012/06/26/magical-blueberry-vanilla-chia-seed-jam/lisamariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08184249651193047445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534624828183470540.post-55704579685135821102013-05-17T17:28:29.749-05:002013-05-17T17:28:29.749-05:00I'm glad you found it helpful.

Breads with whole wheat are definitely better than white, and adding seeds gives fiber & protein, which help to keep your blood sugar from spiking so much, but it's still something that you don't want to make up the majority of your diet. Also sourdough bread is lower on the glycemic index even with white flour.<br /><br />I turn to root veggies, squash, gourds, cabbage & dark leafy greens in the winter. But you are right that it's more difficult,& it is true that less color & flavor tends to mean less nutrients also. Frozen fruits & veggies are a great option, as they retain all the vitamins without adding sodium or BPA like canned goods do.lisamariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08184249651193047445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534624828183470540.post-6570628383837488522013-05-16T18:42:04.184-05:002013-05-16T18:42:04.184-05:00This is wonderful!

I've been puzzled myself for some time now trying to make sense of the conflicting recommendations we get from the veggie-lovers and the Paleo folks, and yours strikes me as a sensible way of making sense of the fact that there seems to be something to be said for both. I'll look forward to the follow-up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854459548168336396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534624828183470540.post-21680262195333567282013-05-16T09:23:25.212-05:002013-05-16T09:23:25.212-05:00This is a really great article.

What about wheat breads with lots of seeds? Still better to avoid them? <br /><br />Also, 5 servings of fruit and veggies a day, wow. I have to catch up on this. How much is one serving? And what do you recommend as far as fruits and veggies go in the wintertime. I find it's really difficult to get fresh stuff that isn't grown in a tent at the very south of Spain or shipped from Chile during this time of year. The taste is non-existent... so must the nutrients be as well right? MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568789505553307067noreply@blogger.com
