Chocolate Coconut Chia Mousse
Have you heard of Omega-3’s before?! Omega 3’s are essential fatty acids. ‘Essential’ just means that our body cannot make them, so ensuring you get adequate amounts from your diet and/or supplements is important! Omega-3’s are a vital part of cell structure and signalling pathways, as well as a source of energy for the body. They have wide-ranging roles in heart, lung, and immune system function as well as hormonal function.
Foods that are rich in Omega-3’s that you can incorporate into your diet include:
cold-water fatty fish such as salmon, anchovies & mackerel
omega-3 enriched eggs
walnuts, ground flaxseed & chia seeds
