Natalie's Tri Season Review of Chia Charged ups and downs
Hi it's Natalie here, the one who usually posts recipes and ideas for using chia charge products. I am going to tell you a little about how my year has been training and racing in Triathlon.
Nat Thomas - Triathlete "Winning medals is not everything"
Hello, I'm Natalie and am really pleased and excited to be a Triathlete, in fact I took up training for sport when I was 14! (I will try and keep this short). When I was 14 I didn't know about competing in sport, I just enjoyed PE at school and had swimming lessons when I was young so when I saw a swimming club advert in a supermarket I jumped at the opportunity and that's where it all started.
Meet Jen, the Chia Charged Climber
I started climbing after someone suggested it as something to do at my 10th birthday party. I wasn't that good but I loved it and was soon going about twice a week getting ready for my first competition. I did better than I expected which gave me the motivation to start training properly and going more regularly.

'Why or how do you get so many calories into the Flapjack?'
A little while ago The Sun ran an article on 'healthy snacks' that contain more calories than chocolate bars. Much to our amusement, our Sea Salt Flapjacks were compared to an Aero Mint bar. Unsurprisingly our 80g energy bar had almost double the calories of the Aero bar that weighed less than half that (37g).
And while The Sun completely missi...
