Breakfast of Chia(mpions)

10.14.2008

The Bite:
imageTired of tasting the agony of defeat every morning? Ditch your boring old cereal and try a sure breakfast winner: Dylan's Chia granola - and yep, we mean the same nutty-flavored seed that sprouts our Taz ch-ch-ch-chia. DC mixes it up with wildflower honey made here in CO, nuts, fruit, and oats to make two tasty flavs: Cranberry Walnut and Sunflower Almond. (Tip: Sprinkle some on salad for sweet-crunchy deliciousness.) Dylan's is made locally (fewer transport emissions), and packs more omega-3s than salmon or flax, plus protein and fiber, to help you go for the gold on your next fourteener...
Wanna Try: 
Dylan's Chia Granola, available at Whole Foods, 900 E. 11th Ave. at Emerson St. (303-832-7701). Granola, $5/11 ounces.

Cocktail Fact

Chia Pets are available only in winter; it takes the company a full year to produce enough handmade-pottery pets for one holiday season.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Denver Biters replace commercially produced honey with a locally produced alternative for a year, we'll avert the weight of nearly 700 mil honey bears worth of CO2 from flying into the air.
