Great directions for a general idea on chia gel. Once you start to consume this often all you have to do is eyeball it. Read More

I love it this recipe. I mix my raw honey and wheat grass juice with it and take it by the spoonful. It is so much fun to eat this way. For my children I use natural fruit juice they like the different colors and flavors. Read More
