      Actually, it can create sort of a nice texture, like a thick pudding, when mixed with greek yogurt, mashed sweet potato, etc. The taste is really neutral, unlike flax, and it is a great way to add fiber. Between chia, oatmeal, and regular fruits and veggies, I always go over my fiber requirement.

      Interesting. I find chia seeds to be kind of bitter so I usually only add them to soups, whereas I never taste ground flax at all.

      I'll mix chia seeds in my yogurt, but I don't care for mixing them in water. Drinking chia fresca is like drinking a glass full of tadpoles.

      This has me rolling.

      I actually tired a spoon full of chia seeds. Besides helping keep you hydrated (drink water after you eat them) it was a pretty filling snack. Don't eat too much of it, I wouldn't go over 3 Table spoons a day.

      I get about 50 grams a day usually. Beans, vegetables, high-fiber fruits (berries, pears, etc). If you're eating lots of vegetables, I think it would be hard not to hit your fiber goal.

      DITTO - same for me.
