STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Chia chunks superfood pet treats are made from a two-ingredient recipe that includes chia seeds and pastured chicken or bison (or another animal protein of your choice)
  • Chia seeds are a nutrient powerhouse, high in protein, plant-based omega-3 fats (alpha-linolenic acid, ALA); they’re also rich in amino acids, antioxidants, fiber, and flavonoids, along with calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and niacin

Chia seeds have assumed their rightful place as a superfood for humans, and for good reason. Chia, which is the ancient Mayan word for strength, has been valued for its energy-boosting properties for centuries.1

 

When the seeds first began to be grown as a functional food in the U.S. (which occurred in 2014; most other chia seeds are grown in Mexico and Bolivia), they were promoted as equine food. However, these tiny seeds make excellent treats for dogs and cats, too, which is why I created the following recipe.
