Inspired by Alicia Silverstone's "The Kind Diet" and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food," we want to experience the vegan lifestyle to improve our health, boycott animal suffering, and reduce our carbon footprint.

Super Food - to the rescue!

As you've noticed, I've taken a liking to chia seeds.  They are the latest and greatest "super food" to hit the mainstream market, and they are a great addition to banana ice cream.  Thanks for sharing this article, Becky!
Chia seeds are very rich in omega-3 fatty acids and also provide soluble fiber, calcium, magnesium, antioxidants and other nutrients. The soluble fiber helps slow digestion so your blood sugar remains more stable after eating and you feel fuller longer.
