Chia seed
Anyone using chia seed? My store finally had some. There is a lemon cake recipe on the bag. I think I am going to pick up stuff for that next trip.
I am have been making chia pudding with vanilla hemp milk. It looks like ugly tapioca:giggle. I like it and my little kids will eat it. ---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ---------- Here is the bread recipe http://www.bobsredmill.com/recipes.php?recipe=1773 |

Subbing for more ideas.
I recently got some and use them in smoothies. |
Re: Chia seed

Re: Chia seed
I've just been adding them to smoothies. How did you do the pudding? Just the milk and chia?

Re: Chia seed
Yes just seeds in a mason jar and cover with milk. Seems like there are a lot of ratios. Just make sure you let it sit and stir it or shake it a few times or it can clump. It is super filling. Love it! They expand more than I thought.

Re: Chia seed
I made the chia pudding the other day and it was pretty yummy. I tried carob and I'm going to do cocoa next time. It needs some sweetener for sure. :think

Re: Chia seed
Smoothies. We sprinkle them on oatmeal or on pb toast for breakfast. I have not tried baking with them but I know you can substitute them for some of the flour; I think the ratio is 2/3 c. : 1 c. flour.
I love them because they are so filling. |
Re: Chia seed
:yum
Ways I use chia: -pudding - I have tried a few. choc. pb. coconut milk is my favorite. -smoothies -part of my hot cereal (oats, ground nuts, dried fruit & chia) -Endurance sports drink or just as an addition to lemon water when I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to eat regularly while I am out. -in baked oatmeal breakfast bars I have to get more. I only have enough left for my sports drink and I am really craving some pudding. :yum |
Re: Chia seed
Wanderinjuniper, can you give us a recipe for your pudding?

Re: Chia seed
I just started using them recently! :) I like the ideas shared so far!
They are good as an egg replacer in baked goods. I've been putting the equivalent of two "eggs" in my recipes -- one tablespoon of chia seeds and 3 tablespoons of water for each one. . . . I've put them in cookies and muffins so far. I like them sprinkled on my salad. I showed my kids the Chia Pet ad on youtube the other day because my little boy couldn't figure out why I was singing "ch-ch-ch chia!" :giggle |
Re: Chia seed
Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Puding:
In a pint mason jar - roughly 1/4 cup chia seeds 1 cup milk of choice - I preffer coconut milk for my pudding 1 TBSP of cocoa powder 1TBSP nut butter of choice - I like PB. Shake it up and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Stir before serving. I have found the longer I let it sit in the fridge the more I like it. :yes The Peanut butter needs to be melted down a bit if you want it to mix well throughout. I don't bother melting it but I also don't mind if the pb isn't mixed throughout. |
Re: Chia seed
That looks so delicious!
