Default 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. I like it and my little kids will eat it.

Here is the bread recipe http://www.bobsredmill.com/recipes.php?recipe=1773

Default 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.

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.

sent the link for the lemon bread to dh

Default 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.

Default Re: Chia seed


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.

Default 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!"

Default 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. 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.
