So the fine folks at Huma sent me a sampling of their Chia gels. This video is.from their site. Watch it! It's actually funny.
So everyone who knows me knows that I love Chia seeds. I’ve been on the Chia band wagon since Born to Run. Chiahead life!
And Bob Ross is awesome! No mistakes only happy accidents.
So the packaging looks like every other gel. With caffeine!
Fat, protein, and fiber! Almost sounds like real food. So my biggest wonder was what was it going to look like inside. Seeds and jelly? Nope...
Looks and tastes like really good chocolate frosting!
Can I lick the spoon?
So seriously. This stuff is really good. I can taste the Chia-ness faintly in the background but only because I eat Chia all the time and you can't slip it past me. But in general I think you could pass this off as organic frosting.
The chocolate is rich and smooth and wonderful. Between the caffeine and Chia magic I had a great little run with one of these as my breakfast and coffee combined.
Maybe it's the Chia placebo effect (or the caffeine) but I really did feel a little kick in my stride. No crash. No stomach issues.
Like all chocolate gels my only complaint is that I don't ever really want to eat chocolate gels in the heat. Hot weather and a hot running belly just don't want to play with rich coco.
So as usual I will be reviewing every flavor that I have individually and ranking them. So as the first flavor the chocolate is of course first place right now.
So who will win the best taste test? According to their site it's going to be strawberry which is their most popular flavor. Stay tuned to find out! But for now... gotta run!
