Chia Seeds-High Source of Protein in a little package

Chia Seed Pudding Recipe by Giada De Laurentiis

Budgeting sometimes means we have to be efficient. This applies to our choices in nutrition as well. Meat is becoming more and more expensive, and so it is important to find some more affordable sources of protein to add to our diets.

Chia seeds are an excellent source of protein and encompass much nutritional value within a small portion. Incorporating chia seeds into your diet is not only efficient from a nutrition standpoint, it is also an affordable way to add protein to your diet as meat costs rise.

Chia seeds can be bought in bulk and you'll only need to consume a very small amount per day to reap the benefits.

Here is an article that explains why everyone is eating chia seeds, and if you are persuaded to try them yourself-comment and let me know!

What is Gazelle?

Follow www.TheBudgetQueen.com on Facebook

What is Gazelle and Why Would I Use Their Services?

Gazelle is an online trade in service for used consumer electronics like iPhones, iPads, Macbooks, Samsung Galaxy devices, and many other smartphones and tablets. Gazelle pays you cash for your used gadgets when you're ready to get new ones - cash you can use to pay for your upgrade, pay a bill, or buy anything you want. In essence, Gazelle rewards people for approaching consumption in a smart, environmentally responsible way. Rather than discard a device you no longer value or use, Gazelle provides original owners with an opportunity to exchange it for cash. The device is then given new life and value elsewhere.

Since 2008, Gazelle has paid out more than $150 million for unwanted technology and kept millions of gadgets out of the landfill. It truly is a win-win-win business. Gazelle buys high-end, used consumer electronics, and sell it to those who otherwise couldn’t afford buying new. It’s called reCommerce, and Gazelle helped pioneer the category.

Because you are a valued reader of this site, if you click through to Gazelle you will earn an extra $10 on any iPad with a trade in value of $25 or more! (Offer expires 3/21) Visit Gazelle today, and see what your device is worth!
