How SANE Is: Soy, Stevia, Sweet Potatoes, Paleo, and More: SANESoundbite 6
“Chia seeds are freaking amazing. I eat chia seeds literally every single day and probably multiple times a day, however, if I’m trying to get protein, there are about as much protein in chia seeds as there is protein in a Snickers bar. Not truly, but it’s not that far off. It doesn’t mean chia seeds are bad for you, it just means chia seeds are great for you, it’s just not concentrated source of protein. So, that’s the key distinction. So beans have protein in them, so does a pickle, but you wouldn’t put a pickle in a workout shake to add the protein because it’s mostly not protein. The only reason protein powder is so useful is because good protein powders are usually 80 percent protein. So it’s just pure unadulterated protein.” More in: http://pages.sanesolution.com/how-sane-is-soy-stevia-sweet-potatoes-paleo-and-more/ #SANE
