Cream of wheat/chia in smoothie question

Momepro

If I am planning on adding cream of wheat or chia seeds to make a smoothie more filling for breakfast, should I be soaking them first? I don't want to add hot cereal to a frozen drink, but should I prepare it overnight instead, or will it be just as effective mixed in with the obviously already wet drink?

I add chia seeds to my smoothies as I'm blending them. You don't need to soak them. I've never thought to add cream of wheat, but I would add it cold, already cooked to your smoothie.
