Neuro Nutrition Nugget - Chia
Chia seeds are a superfood that can do wonders for your brain health. These tiny seeds are packed with nutrients that nourish and support brain function. One of the key nutrients found in chia seeds is omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for brain health. Omega-3 fatty acids improve cognitive function, enhance memory, and reduce the risk of cognitive decline as we age. Chia seeds also contain antioxidants, which protect the brain from oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally, they are a great source of protein and fiber, which provide sustained energy and keep you mentally sharp throughout the day. So if you want to boost your brainpower, don’t forget to add chia seeds to your diet!

- Maple syrup: use real maple syrup, not the imitation.

FAQ:
Q: Can I use regular milk instead of almond milk?
A: Yes, you can substitute regular milk for almond milk if you prefer, but using non-dairy milk like almond, soy, or oat milk keeps the recipe vegan and dairy-free.
