Chia seeds and walnuts are high in Omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds release more of their beneficial omega oils if they are ground. Also, once mixed, ground chia seeds stay suspended in the almond milk, whereas whole seed clump. The addition of hydrolyzed collagen powder provides proteins that are beneficial to tightening skin. Collagen is an incomplete protein, but the chia seeds' proteins make up for that and the addition of butter and/or heavy whipping cream adds fat soluble vitamins A and D so they can be absorbed properly.

Note: I briefly tried ground flax added to my noatmeal. I caused awful hot flashes due to flax's phytoestrogens. Large amounts of flax can create issues with periods, fertility and pregnancy, so I recommend avoiding it.
