    If used them I would want to have them in a shake. Just so they don't taste as bad.

    That's the only way I use them. I throw them in the blender with a banana, strawberries, steelcut oats, peanut butter, and some muscle milk.

    Chia seeds do have some nutritional benefits. I don't put them in drinks though because they get slimey... But i do throw some in to whatever when I'm cooking and also throw them into whatever I'm baking too. :D

    I was having some digestive problems due to going low-carb, so my nutritionist suggested chia seeds for the fiber. I put a teaspoon in scrambled eggs (which took some getting used to) and a tablespoon in my smoothies, along with a tbsp of flax. I have started milling the seeds first, however, because they were so gritty just blended with the NutriBullet. It is more palatable that way, but I don't know if I'm getting the same fiber benefits. Definitely not a weight loss cheat, though.

    See, I have digestive issues too. I would use them for that as well. Taking fiber supplements don't seem to work for me.
