Ch-Ch-Ch-CHIA!



Who remembers "the pottery that grows?" I've wanted one for years! The elephant one especially (my love for elephants is a little scary lol). But I have recently been reading that Chia seeds are amazing little dudes with lots to offer! I am really not the best at explaining how amazing these are, so check it out here



So why am I telling you this? I am trying to find ways to incorporate Chia seeds into my diet. I really have to. You don't understand. I bought 2 lbs at Sam's Club. They must be used! lol Did I mention a little goes a long way? Most recipes only call for like... a tablespoon or two. 

I am currently playing with different versions of Chia Pudding. It's pretty basic really. You take some coconut (or almond) milk, cocoa powder, sweetener, Chia (of course) and some vanilla and mix. If you want exact portions, let me know, and I will post the actual recipe. I'm also looking at some Chia crackers... I haven't tried them yet, so idk how it will turn out. 

So what about you? Have you tried Chia? What are your thoughts?

Let me know in the comments below!

  1. You can add them to anything! Eggs, oatmeal/hot cereals, soups, stews, etc. I love them and eat them on the daily! :)

  2. Becka, I think I bought the same container you did at Sam's club thinking I need to find a way to use them. So far I have just put them in smoothies and oatmeal. I'm intrigued by the crackers you mentioned. Looking forward to seeing if you give them a try.

    1. See, I would do oatmeal, because I think it would mask that texture, however, I cannot have oats. :(
