Tailgate Parties Can Be Fun and Healthy

One of the favorite activities during the many concerts, sporting events and other stadium happenings are tailgate parties.  People love to arrive early in their cars, trucks and mobile homes to begin drinking, eating food and socializing.  It’s a much-loved tradition that only increases in popularity.

Among all the greasy meats cooked on a grill, alcohol and fried food it is also possible to provide something that’s healthy to eat and tastes wonderful.  Whale Tails Tortilla Chips  are good with salsa, guacamole and almost anything that can be used with tortilla chips.  They are also healthy and taste fantastic.

Whale Tail Tortilla Chips  are made from organic blue corn and contain the Mayan seed called Chia.

The many benefits of blue corn is noted in an article from Jennifer Warner titled “Blue Corn Tortilla Packs Healthy Punch” 
"Researchers from the home of the tortilla, Mexico, found blue corn tortillas contain 20% more protein than their white corn counterparts. They also have less starch and a lower glycemic index (GI), which may be good news for dieters and people with diabetes."
The chia seeds found in Whale Tail Tortilla Chips are from South America and filled with polyunsaturated fats such as Omega-3 fatty acids.  They also help lower a person’s cholesterol by providing a high amount of fiber.  Chia seeds are valued for their antioxidants as well as important minerals.  They are gluten free and provide a person with the feeling of being full, which can help individuals who overeat.

Tailgate parties no longer need to be a time of unhealthy eating.  When Whale Tail Tortilla Chips are provided, it can be a time of fun as well as nutritious food.

Contact Whale Tail Tortilla Chips and get some for your next tailgating experience or just to enjoy some healthy food that happens to be delicious.

The Benefits of Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are not just for chia pets anymore. This ancient Mayan seed is the new super food, and a key ingredient in our Blue Tor"chia" Chips. So what are the benefits of chia seeds? These tiny seeds pack a big nutritional punch. Here are some of the ways they work their health magic:

Add healthy Omega-3 oil to your diet

Chia seeds are the richest plant-source of this healthy oil. We love the ocean, and everything that lives in it. Chia seeds are a way to get this essential oil without harming any of the ocean's residents. In fact, chia seeds contain even more Omega-3 than salmon. This oil is important in maintaining heart and cholesterol health, and has even been targeted as a weight-loss helper.

Feel more energized all day long

Chia is also one of nature's highest plant-based sources of complete protein. Usually protein from other plant-based sources is incomplete, meaning you have to balance it with protein from other sources to get the full effect. But with chia seeds, it's protein is complete enough to give you steady energy all day long.

Get the calcium and fiber your body needs

Many Americans do not get enough calcium. Chia seeds deliver up to five times more calcium than milk! Snacking on a chip with chia seeds can actually contribute to keeping your bones strong and healthy. Bonus! Chia seeds also deliver 42% of your daily recommended dose of fiber per ounce. Fiber is vital for all aspects of health, and is especially key for weight loss and digestion. And it's another one of those things that we just don't get enough of. 

And do you know what's really incredible about chia seeds? You get all of these health benefits and great flavor. Chia seeds actually enhance the natural flavors of whatever item they are used in. So they give our organic blue chips an extra nutty and delicious flavor.

Tummy Growling? Look for Healthy Vending Options

I am sure you have been there. You have spent the day surfing or on the beach with your family. All the snacks were eaten on the beach, or perhaps they were eaten in the car on the way to your next destination. You are trying to eat as healthy as possible, but your schedule sometimes gets tight, which causes you to eat on the run occasionally. Whether you are at work on an empty stomach or at the hospital visiting a loved one, you will find healthy vending options in your nearest snack machines.

One of those healthy vending options is Whale Tail's Blue Corn Tortilla Chips infused with Chia. Chia seed is a super food that contains omega-3 fatty acids, and omega-3's are known to lower cholesterol. 

They are also a good source of fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. For hundreds of years, this tiny seed was used by the Aztecs as their main energy source. Plant Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Cleveland Clinic
