A simple and delicious idea for Father’s Day (June 16th). Dads love homemade goodies but they’re not always as healthy as they could be. These No-Bake Cookies with Salba Chia Seeds are not only a tasty treat, but they also pack a nutritional punch of Omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), fiber, antioxidants and protein. Please feel free to share this recipe and image with your readers as our gift to fathers everywhere this month:

Why Salba Chia? It’s the richest whole food source of Omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) and fiber found in nature on a gram for gram basis. Every 15g serving of Salba provides over 3,400 mg of Omega-3s (ALA) – 800% more Omega-3s (ALA) than salmon (EPA/DHA). Used whole or ground, Salba Chia can boost phytonutrient-rich shakes and smoothies too – a great pairing for Father’s Day cookies!
