Being low glycemic and low-calorie yet extremely high in protein, omega-3s and antioxidants, it's no wonder that chia seed snacks are a runner's best friend. However, you don't have to be an athlete or an Aztec warrior in order to reap the nutritional benefits of this superfood.
NemiChia's chia snacks are packaged in yogurt-sized containers with tasty fruits like blueberries, strawberries or peaches on the bottom, in addition to a plain option for purists. Packaging for this all-natural "spoonable" chia snack was designed by the Miller Branding Agency, giving the superfood an appearance that's wholesome, approachable and inviting. In a charming handwritten font, the tops of the snack containers bear humorous warnings like "Tiny, yet mighty," "May contain superpowers" and "Yum starts here."
