Posted: Mon, 29/08/2011 - 12:05pm

The Chia Company is thrilled to announce the launch of the ‘nudie breakfast juice’ from Australian brand nudie.  The world’s first fresh juice with Chia, this all-natural breakfast juice contains nothing but apple, banana, cinnamon and Australian Grown Chia seeds from The Chia Co.  With a delicious taste, the nudie breakfast juice is naturally thickened by the fibre in Chia seeds and is a source of Fibre and Omega 3.

Chia is the richest combined plant source of Omega 3, fibre and protein, essential nutrition often missing from the modern diet.  Chia has been used as food in South America as early as 3,500 BC, the cultural use was to mix Chia with water, lemon juice and cayenne pepper, a nourishing drink that would fuel the Tarahumara Indian runners all day.  The Chia seed has been revived in Australia by Australian farmer John Foss and The Chia Co are now the world’s largest producer of Chia. 

Leading accredited practicing sports dietician Emma Morris says “It is fantastic to have quick breakfast choice which has no added sugar and with the added benefits of Chia seeds a great source of dietary fibre and Omega 3. The low total fat and no saturated fat content also makes this ideal for people wanting a healthy, sustainable start to the morning”.

The nudie team have been working on the perfect breakfast formulation for 18 months and are very happy with the results.  The nudie breakfast juice is flavoured and coloured naturally with cinnamon and the Australian Grown Chia has been added as nature intended, as a wholeseed straight from the Chia plant.  According to Chief Nudie James Ajaka “it tastes great and keeps me full till lunchtime”.
