06 Feb Start Your Day with Chia Seeds

Here at Broadway Gourmet Caterers in Long Island, we love our customers. And we want you to take good care of yourselves. That’s why we introduced our new Healthy Menu, featuring deliciously healthy options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  

You can start the day off right for your guests with our Parfait Buffet, featuring oatmeal parfaits, hard-boiled eggs and fresh fruit or a more traditional Breakfast Buffet, featuring the option for scrambled egg whites and turkey sausage or bacon and sweet potato home fries.  

The Chia Quinoa brown rice cakes featured in both our Heart Healthy Continental Breakfast as well as our Fruit & Frittata, are also a great way to start your day. 

Why We Love Chia Seeds

As the Harvard School of Public Health reports, chia seeds are an excellent source of:

• Omega-3 fatty acids
• Fiber
• Protein (In fact, Harvard’s public health experts say, “Chia seeds are a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids that cannot be made by the body.”)
• Calcium
• Phosphorus
• Zinc
• Copper

Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia Pets

Of course, not everyone has developed a taste for chia. We have good news – there is more than one way to enjoy chia. 

That’s right, they still make Chia Pets. In fact, there is quite a collection of designs available these days, everything from the Chia Golden Girls Collection to a Chia Unicorn and from Chia Abraham Lincoln to Chia Hillary Clinton. And you should check out the Baby Yoda Chia Pet! 

 Chia Pets were always good for a smile and that still holds true today. And there is plenty of research showing that smiling is good for you, too. 

So, whether you want to start your day off right by enjoying a Chia Quinoa brown rice cake from the new Healthy Menu at Broadway Gourmet Caterers, which still caters backyard barbecues too, or by bonding with your Chia Pet, we encourage you to make chia a healthy part of your day.
