Mamma CHIA!

by

To my surprise she adored her some Mamma Chia!

We are longtime fans of chia up in herre.

But I wont lie to you.

It was a love affair whose spark had dimmed.

Significantly.

Im not even sure when it happened—-but I returned to my flaxseed-loving ways & Ren Man & the Tornado followed.

And then Mamma Chia entered the scene.

(here’s where I stop to clarify this was a personal discovery. Mama Chia never approached me to write about them & I approached them for the giveaway)

Mamma Chia with their drink that looks, to this misfit eye, as though you’re drinking the innards of a tomato.

The gluten-free, vegan, high fiber, loaded with 2000 mg of omega-3, high in antioxidants, only 110 calorie innards of a tomato:

And yes.

This misfit could NOT resist trying it.

 

What did I love about Mamma Chia?

  • Great googly moogly everything. The taste.  The four different fabulous flavors. The healthiness. The informative website.  The fact they give back to the community. Everything.

What might you not like about Mamma Chia?

  • The price.  Mamma Chia isnt cheap (Approximately 2.50 a bottle.  All depends on finding on sale etc), however, Im not one to skimp on health.  A generic brand diet soda is only 50 cents.  You do the HEALTH MATH.

What did the Tornado think of Mamma Chia upon first sip? (30 second video clip below)

She loved it so much, in fact, she ambushed greeted Ren Man EARLY the next morning with another bottle.

A pre-coffee good sport Ren Man (29 second video clip below):

So there you have it.

Mama loves her some Mamma Chia.

Ren Man and the Tornado quickly followed suit.

This misfit lunged to her computer quick fast & in a hurry and pestered inquired about procuring some Mama Chia for YOU to try.

And they said YES.

So, now it’s your turn.

Are you brave enough to join is in our looks-like-tomato-innards-tastes-like-CHIAheaven love?

One USA-type will win a bottle of each of the four flavors (cherry lime, raspberry passion, blackberry hibiscus, & cranberry lemonade).

Winner announced 6.13.11

FTC? I boughts my own Mamma Chia.  You know, just FYI…

  1. Owww sounds fun! I want to try the cherry lime- will be on the lookout at wfs! Your daughter is sooo adorable! Happy friday

  5. I’d love to try it–I’m sure it’s better than my guilty pleasure of a diet cherry limeade from sonic

  9. I started eating chia when you blogged about it before.
    Perhaps two years ago?
    It has changed my life, Carla!

  10. Ooh, that sounds interesting! I was not able to eat the Chia…too gelatinous for me! I’ll have to hunt down a bottle of this stuff. I like the NI!

    Thanks for the introduction!!!!

    • NOT. AT. ALL.
      which is 100% why Ren Man agreed to taste it in the first place Im sure.
      He may be a bit scarred from my TRY THIS FROM THE BAG ON A SPOON!!! chia experiment from last time.

  13. I adore your whole family, Miz.

    PLEASE write a book about healthy living families.

    And please enter me to win this.
    I would video my family tasting it!

  14. I just downloaded your Two Girls and a Microphone then promptly looked up your site. I am so excited to have a new site to turn to! I am going to listen to your podcast tomorrow while I run a 1/2 marathon trail race. Now I just have to decide which ones to listen to!
    Thanks
    Jodie

  15. I love Chia but would not normally pick that up as I don’t like to “drink my calories”. But looking at the Omegas in it and there is even a little protein, I would try it. I have never heard of this before. Where did you find it?

  19. I’ve never heard of it…..and I’m not sure I could actually get it down. But, there are a lot of things I never thought I’d try this past year. I’d give it a go!

    • well, I caint lie. I was nervous to try it (I cant stand tomatoes and really did envision it tasting like the gooey center of a tomato. *gag*) and there was video until we watched it and discovered the child had filmed another woman walking around (dont ask) instead of me.

      NO GAG.
      JUST LOVE.

      hence the seeking a giveaway …of love 🙂

  23. You know, I bought a container of chia seed at the farmers’ market a while back, and I have yet to try them. What do I do with them? (Uh, Google it, of course!)

    Still, a drink? Sounds interesting …

  24. I am in the midst of a chia seed obsession! Love it with banana and raspberries. I usually just make my own chia drink with lemon and water but would love to try this!

  26. I have been curious about Chia for a good while now.

    Thank you for endorsing.
    Is it pitiful I need a Miz endorsement?

  27. I must be the oddball here because drinking chilled tomato innards sounds good 😉

    I would love to try this!!

  31. Me.. not so much:( I got hubby to try chia when I read about it in my “diet” forum and he is a huge fan, puts it in his oatmeal every morning with his flax meal and healthy walnuts. I have tried it in drinks and … hmm.

  32. It amazes me how much the Tornado reminds me of my own little 6 year old!! Their expressions, the way they say things, their gestures – SO MUCH ALIKE!! Is it the age I wonder? Or could they be cosmic sisters? Either way, seeing lil T brings a puff of joy to my day. 🙂

    And yes, please…I would like to win a Chia drink!!

  40. I’m always looking for new healthy drinks, and I love them ‘maters! Hook me up!

  43. It sounds disgusting. I’d love to try it! Actually, looking at the bottles on the website, it looks pretty good. Not like tomatoes, lol.

    Does it really smell like wine? And that, BTW, nearly made me spew my coffee when I watched the Tornado say that. Also her giggle at Renman’s wine comment just cracked me up. Y’all have too much fun!

  44. We are quite similar. If a food is quality and good for my family I will spend what is necessary.

  45. I second the person above re: the boaba/bubble tea, if you like that concept, chia is your thing. I will say the drink was much less noticeable then when I had put seeds into my yogurt at home and what not. Wonder if that’s from the acid?

    In any event, they are on sale at whole foods right now!

  48. the mamma chia sounds delicious! also, the tornado must just be the cutest thing! and what a great sport your husband is… 🙂

    i’m also with you. i’ll spend more money on products that are good for my body than buy cheaper things and do absolutely nothing for or harm my bod!

  49. I would love to try it, sounds intriguing. I’m a bit of a chia nut anyways! Looked for it at our store but didn’t see it.

  50. I LOVE chia!! I’ve been adding it to my Shakeology and it gives it that thicker, tapioca-y texture 🙂 I think my favorite flavor would be the cranberry lemon. I love me some tartness 🙂

  51. I’d love to try it too! I haven’t seen it before in stores, sounds weird but in a good way 🙂

  52. Holy cow, if Tornado & RenMan can do it, I can do it! I friggin loved the videos with cute Tornado & the birds chirping in the background & then Tornado interviewing Dad.. a star in the making!

  54. OMNOMNOMNOM!!! I love me some chia! Never heard of Mamma Chia though, sounds awesome and I would love to try! I make a MEAN chia pudding.

    • OOH that’s creative. Id say YES to the marinade and maybe too…running 🙂 for a dressing.

      that said, Im not a fan of dressing so Im no judge:)

  56. heya, Miz! i am always on the lookout for something other than water to drink while on the road with the family. thanks for the review!!!!
    keep up the great work.
    Be Well,
    Gene

  57. You have the coolest family Miz.
    When can I move in??

    I will settle for trying some Mamma Chia 🙂

  59. Could your little mini-me be any cuter? I just want to squeeze her cute little cheeks?

  60. This drink looks like something that would be right up my alley. Kombucha? Check. Coconut water with probiotics? check. Chia drink that is miz approved? Double check!

  61. I think its funny that both said it smells like wine… I’m thinking a secret web cam is in order.

    Can’t wait to try it! Love their site with the store finder – alas – none here locally… But I’m a vixen and suggested it to my fav storeowner 😉

  66. I’ve been spreading the Mamma Chia love all over Austin! Seriously, even giving tastes to my favorite coffee bar owner in hopes he’ll start carrying it. Yum! I’ve tried three flavors but haven’t seen the blackberry hibiscus.

  67. Sounds good! I like chia but havent bought any in awhile! Thanks for reminding me about those lil lack crunchy seeds.

  68. Love chia! I know I’m two years behind your post asking for uses, but I put chia in protein shakes, along with flax and a splash of Pom! yum. I also add them to the homemade granola I’ve been making en masse lately. Nothing smells better than homemade granola!

  69. Ooooh, they all sound deee-lish…pick me, pick me! 😉 I’m all about finding healthy drinks since all I seem to be drinking these days is water. I’ve pretty much cut out soda, sweet tea (which was super hard for me), and anything ‘yummy’ that isn’t healthy. Thanks for the review Miz!

    Jamie 🙂

  71. ummm ok all kinds of skeptical here – “chewy”? Hmmmm but I’ll give it a go. Sign mer up.

  72. I’ve never heard of this! I would love to try some, my family could use healthier drinks, that’s for sure!

  73. Did you just find this at your local grocery store? I wonder if I could find it around here. Definitely would be fun to try at least once!

  74. I will have to look for this at Whole Foods next time I’m there. I have no issues with consuming foods that look “gross” to the average person. I grew up on basil seed drinks (looks like little fish eyeballs…crunchy too!) I fear no food! 😉

  79. I just had my first bottle and I LOVED the texture, taste, smell and how the little seeds popped in my mouth. I drank the raspberry passion flavor, and after work tonight, I am off to the store to buy some more. Yummy!
