Chia seeds are a great source of protein and fiber. They contain antioxidants and healthy omega 3 fatty acids. Adding chia seeds to breakfast in the morning can help maintain consistent energy levels throughout the day. They can be added to absolutely anything because they do not have a distinctive taste.

Honey gives goodies a darker, more golden color than traditional refined sugar. It is helpful to cover cakes made with honey with foil halfway through their baking time to ensure the top does not brown too much. Check for doneness with a toothpick before removing the cake from the oven.
