First-of-its-Kind: Seeds of Wellness Chia Milk

Why Chia Milk from Seeds of Wellness?

Chia Milk from Seeds of Wellness stands apart from other plant-based milk options with its exceptional quality, health attributes, and environmental stewardship.

• Made by Chia Experts: Benexia, the parent company behind Seeds of Wellness, is a field-to-shelf chia ingredients specialist that is vertically integrated from chia agricultural production to final ingredient solutions and distribution. Benexia is committed to advancing human and planet health by being hyper-focused on this small but mighty seed.
• Naturally Crafted from Whole Chia Seeds: Seeds of Wellness Chia Milk features all the best parts of chia seeds – protein, fibre, omega-3 fats, and nutty flavour.
• Sustainably Produced: The company’s chia farms rely exclusively on rainwater as a watering source and follow regenerative agriculture practices. The chia seed ingredients used in Seeds of Wellness Chia Milk are processed without water, solvents or enzymes, using a nearly zero-waste, zero-water process from seed to packaging. Water is only introduced as the main ingredient in the final product.

• Unparalleled Nutrition: Each 8-ounce serving delivers 740 mg of plant-based omega-3 fats, 4x more fibre than leading almond or oat milk, and 3x more protein than leading rice milk, with no added sugar. Fortified with a good source of calcium and vitamin D, this Chia Milk delivers ‘more’ for only 25 calories per serving.
• Smooth, Creamy & Delicious: Seeds of Wellness uses a proprietary micro-milling process to grind up whole chia seeds, which preserve chia’s nutrition and flavour properties and results in a smooth, creamy Chia Milk.
• Versatile: Seeds of Wellness Chia Milk is perfect for smoothies, lattes, iced coffee, tea, baking, cereals, and more. It’s offered in Original and will soon be available in Vanilla.
• Free From Major Allergens: Dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free.
