Both do well in smoothies, and chia seeds get that gellike coating. Flax thickens and binds the smoothie. Pick your poison!0 -
Chia tastes a bit bitter to me so I go for flax. I don't taste flax.0

Im not a fan of chia. I dont like the gooey yuck they turn into. I use dground flax in my oatmeal everyday along with protien and blueberries and it gives off a nice little nutty flavor0
