    I saw chia seeds premixed in drinks at Whole Foods today. Wonder how slimy THAT would be :)


    I bought that drink - very slimy.... too slimy for me. :)

    I saw a red one that looked very pretty....but very slimy! I'll stick with using in my granola for now :)
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    read the beginning of this and saw chia in the store today so i picked some up. just had a bowl of slime but it doesnt taste too bad :mrgreen:


    I prefer my chia seeds with food - such as oatmeal at breakfast time. No Slime... ;)

    Agreed. Great overnight oatmeal recipe here:

    Green Oats
    Yield: 1 serving
    Ingredients:
    1 large handful fresh spinach or small handful of kale
    1 large ripe banana
    1.5 tbsp chia seeds (necessary for thickening)
    1 cup almond milk
    1/3 cup regular, rolled oats

    1. In a blender, blend together the spinach, banana, chia seeds, and almond milk until smooth.
    2. In a cereal bowl, add the oats and then pour the smoothie on top. Stir well until combined.
    3. Place in fridge (uncovered is fine) overnight. Give it a good stir in the morning and then enjoy it cold, straight from the fridge. Add desired toppings as you wish such as nut butter, granola, coconut, fruit, etc.


    wow - this is a great recipe - thanks for sharing.

    I need chia seeds.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I love my chia seeds as well, ( with my food ) I just sprinkled some seeds on top of my cheese burger tonight and the wonderful thing about chia seeds is that you do not taste them but they have so much nutritional value.

    Don't waste your chia seeds cramming them up someones keester. :lol:

    I do flax seed.

    ground flax seed goes into everything that gets cooked on the stovetop.
