    Absolutely! Full of protein, fiber, omega 3s and it boosts my caloric burn about 10%-20%!

    I have tried Chia seeds, but prefer hmp hearts. the Chia seeds get stuck in my teeth. I would like to try them in baking as an egg substiute just to see if it works.:smile:

    Chia and hemp are the new quinoa.

    I put them in my yogurt, steel cut oatmeal, on top of my poached egg sandwich, on my baked sweet potato. You can hydrate them in any liquid. When I make whole grain bread I put them on top with other seeds. The possibilities are endless.

    I love chia seeds!

    I'll make puddings mixing almond and coconut milk with chia seeds and adding small amounts of shredded coconut with chopped up mangos. I also add them into overnight oats all the time. Those are probably my two favorite ways to use them. I'm also going to use them to make a jam.

    Nope, I can't have any seeds anymore; not even nuts or popcorn.:sick:

    I have a mix of flax seed and chia seed. Mostly have used it in smoothies so far. Small handful goes a long way rather than measuring it. First time i used it i measured and didn't really care for all the graininess of it so learned my lesson. less is more with it

    I've never eaten quinoa or chia, but I've been eating hemp seeds since 1993. :bigsmile: :smokin:
