Why You Should Run to the Store and Buy Chia Seeds

in food •  7 years ago  (edited)

Not only are chia seeds one of the healthiest foods on the planet, it's also super versatile.
On top of that, is a great source of protein, antioxidants and fiber.

My standard and favorite breakfast is chia pudding or smoothie bowls packed with chia. 

I used natural food coloring to make this glass of chia pudding a bit more fancy.


This smoothie bowl has chia in it and on top as decoration. 


This tiny seed will absord insanely amounts of liquid. It's actually quite impressive.
The main reason why I recommend this seed, is that you can use it in almost anything, and you can use it to make quick, easy and healthy foods. 

That is a rare combo!


Chia pudding is what I recommend you try first.

I simply mix some seeds with coconut milk, let it sit in the fridge over night, mix in berries, banana, shredded coconut and honey. Or anything yummy I find in my fridge... Great for busy mornings. Which I have plenty of right now.


PS! Using the seeds like they come in the package can be a little bit hard some stomachs. If you are having trouble, you could soak them in advance.

Have you had chia seeds? What do you use them for?

Wow! The Chia Pudding looks so tempting with all those colors!

We sell a TON of chia seeds at our grocery store. I wasn't sure exactly what folks were using them for, but it's the health conscious crowd that buys them regularly, so I figured they were of high nutritional value. Who knew they could look so good, though! I'm going to have to try them. Thanks, @susanne! Cheers!

They also have more omega 3's than salmon ;) Thank you for reminding me of such a delicious breakfast or dessert! I would eat this all the time, such a healthy easy yummy meal! Love the colors!
