Chia seeds

astribling · 05-22-2013, 06:34 AM

After hearing about all the wonderful health benefits I decided to try some. But now I'm trying to figure out what all to do with them.

I made some of the chia "tapioca" pudding, and it's actually pretty good. Kind of a nutty crunchy pudding. I have also read that they are good to sprinkle on yogurt and salads, etc, but do you sprinkle them on whole? or grind them? Just curious who uses them and how?

I just put about a half teaspoon in a small glass of water and chug it down every day.

Soobee shared this . They are great ground up and put into meatloaf . Keeps it very moist.

I add a tablespoon ground up to muffins and to my smoothies with almond milk. Yum!!

I sprinkle them in quiches, red sauces, over salads, in my smoothies, wherever I can get them in really.

I've used them for all these ideas - love chia. But my favorite use was to sprinkle seeds in my son's slimy salamander terrarium so that Sally The Salamander can have some green grass in her habitat. It sprouted and grew in two days! My son was thrilled.

Well, that's my second favorite. My favorite was to make a pudding out of almond milk and Torani flavored syrup. Yum!
