Chia Seed Shake for Lustrous Hair

Your hair is largely protein, and chia provides a complete protein – containing all essential amino acids in an easily-digested form. Chia seeds are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, omega-3 oil, fiber and minerals which all work toward strong and shiny hair.

 

Ingredients

Makes 1 (24-oz) serving

 

2 cups unsweetened almond milk

2 tbsp chia seeds

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Powdered or liquid stevia to sweeten

 

Directions

Stir chia seeds into almond milk in a glass. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some of the liquid and begin to create a gel. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, making it sweet to suit your taste.
