As the world’s best athletes hit the court at the Australian Open Tennis Championship, Chia Pod serves up vital nutrition and key hydration.

Adding a serve of chia seeds to your diet each day is a great way to improve hydration levels, particularly during warm weather. Chia absorbs up to 16 times its weight in water, effectively storing the hydration and releasing it slowly over time. The absorbent qualities of chia also result in a better retention of electrolytes, another crucial factor in maintaining your body’s hydration.

The rich fiber content in chia also benefits athletes, slowing the conversion of carbohydrates to sugar and delivering and sustained release of energy. The omega-3 ALA in chia promotes a healthy heart and lean muscle mass for strength, while chia’s complete protein assists with cell and tissue regeneration.

Chia Pod is a fantastic way to get your daily serve of chia. Combining a full serve of sun ripened chia seeds with real fruit and other plant based ingredients, Chia Pod is the perfect grab and go fuel before exercise. Each Chia Pod provides 3g of omega-3 ALA and 6g of fiber, with no added colours, flavours or refined sugars.
