Hey y'all. As more and more people discover the amazing benefits of chia seeds, more and more ways to use them come up!
How do you eat them? How often? How do you feel?
I eat about 1/4 cup a day, generally added to smoothies or raw soups. For breakfast I love blending some fruit to make a chunky smoothie, adding in 1/4 cup of chia seeds, a handfull of goji berries, some maca powder, and sometimes a tablespoon of raw tahini to make it creamy. The chia seeds soak up the liquid, making a "porridge" type consitency. This combo seriously keeps me full for up to 6 hours if I don't get a chance to eat later on in the day before coming home from school/work.
I feel so energized and nourished since I started eating chia seeds on a daily basis, which has been for 5 months now.

You know I used to have a Chia-pet when I was a kid -- well, I guess I still am a kid -- but I never put one-and-one together that Chia seeds were used on the Chia-pet, silly me.
I also think they thicken up smoothies too much, prefer hemp powder in smoothies. I like 'em mixed with water for a mid-day refuel.
Thanks for the "protien pudding" firebreather, I am going to have to try that. Sounds pretty good!
