Re: Chia seed
Thought of this thread last night at the store. They had a display of mamachia drinks.

Re: Chia seed
Ones i have tried and liked:
Vanilla and purred berries and a touch of honey Banana and peanut butter Orange creamsicle - OJ touch of vanilla and coconut milk Fwiw, I can't get any of my kids to eat the pudding. It's a texture thing for them. |

Re: Chia seed
I haven't tried these yet but am going to purchase them soon. Could you run them threw a blender? Would they still absorb the liquid? I have a texture sensitive child also, so I'm wondering if that would work?

Re: Chia seed
My chocolate chia pudding is now in the fridge! I made it from cocoa, almond-coconut milk and chia seeds. I thought about using the dark chocolate almond milk (Silk) but maybe that will be the next batch. The kids are excited to try it and so am I!

and I just can't bring myself to try it. I have a jar of chia seeds. I use them for many things. But please, someone tell me, the pudding tastes better than it looks.

Re: Chia seed
The verdict is out: mom like the chia pudding, the girls liked the taste but didn't care for the "fish egg" texture.
Since I love, love tapioca and bubble tea, it is no surprise to me that I liked the chia pudding. Can't wait to try a different flavor.

Re: Chia seed
I've been wondering if I could put the seeds through a grinder to make it smoother too but that would involve buying a separate grinder. My coffee grinder is firmly committed to only grinding coffee.
If you try grinding the seeds let me know how it turns out. It does not look appealing But if you like tapioca pudding or even rice pudding its not a big jump. |

Re: Chia seed
I just ordered the seeds so I will be trying it sometime next week. I'll let you know how it turns out. I also ordered a grinder for seeds and stuff because my coffee grinder is inside my coffee machine lol.

Re: Chia seed
I wonder if the seeds are too tiny for a coffee grinder. I might try my mortar and pestle instead. I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: Chia seed
I've seen recently where people were making bubble tea using chia seeds rather than the higher calorie tapioca pearls. Has anyone tried doing that?

I really like the big pearl tapioca and wouldn't want to give that up. Chia seeds aren't exactly low in calories, but they do provide some good nutrition in the way of omega 3's and fiber.

Re: Chia seed
Another use for chia seeds: egg replacer in my baked oatmeal. I had all the ingredients out and realized I was out of eggs. I put the seeds in some boiling water (same volume as two eggs) and after a short soak, stirred the gel slurry into the oatmeal mixture. I think it worked!

Re: Chia seed
Well, we tried it. Ds said he likes tapioca (he had it at a friend's house) so I made a small amount of chia pudding. No one here was a fan.
