Chia seeds

[nviveros 3]

Anyone have any great recipes or good advise on using chia seed?

Maybe you could try mixing it into guacamole?

I put them in my shakes. I have a recipe for coconut mango pudding with chia seeds, haven't tried it yet but seems yummy!

I just like to soak them in Water for several hours, add a splash of flavour, and drink.

Apparently, according to several members of my family, that just makes me plain weird

Not weird, just different. I do that, too.

It's definitely an acquired taste

What are they and what do they do?

They are the seeds of the chia plant. Remember the "chia pet"?

They are considered a superfood and are very high in antioxidants. However their primary purpose for us is to control Constipation. They absorb Water & retain it all the way through the digestive track. And they are high Fiber.

Oh great thanks. Guess I should add them to my shopping list.

What is the botanical name for chia seeds? I have something called BenVia Gold which is salvia hispanica. Could this be the same thing?

Thank you O.T.R. sleever. You just saved me a bunch of money.

How much of the chia seeds do you put in a shake?

[ShouldBlittler 89]

I put in about a tablespoon.
