One bowl of our Chia Power Muesli provides over 2000 milligrams of Omega 3’s from both the chia seed as well as walnuts, along with super high fiber, protein, and vitamins and minerals from sea vegetables.  Favorite ways to eat our Muesli include mixing 1/3 of a cup along with 1/2 cup of water and heat  it like an oatmeal.  Top it off with fruit, ground flax or nuts.  It is also very popular eaten as a snack when added to yogurts.

Chia Seed is a raw living food high in omega 3, protein, fiber, trace minerals, and antioxidants. This seed, similar in properties to flax seed but with more soluble fiber, is a low glycemic food which enhances energy and endurance and assists people in weight loss.  Chia seed does not need to be ground to receive its nutritional benefits. It can be mixed with all your favorite foods, made into a gel for added nutrition in recipes, or simply used as part of a refreshing drink.

The Omega 3 Smoothie Boosters are simply whole chia and flax seeds in equal proportions.  It  provides  a terrific source of both soluble and insoluble fiber along with Omega 3s and more.  Just two tablespoons (1/2 oz) of our Smoothie Booster delivers 3 grams (3000 mg) of omega 3s!

Thoreau Foods now offers retreats and workshops to teach people about the benefits of whole unprocessed foods through demos and hands on classes.  Along with the nutrition and food components, movement is integral to our wellness retreats with yoga, fitness, nordic walking and coastal bike rides being a major part of the weekend.
