Chia Seeds

After reading a few post here about them I am interested. One of my thoughts is that it would make a good thickener for soups and things like that and would be better then using cornstarch or flour. Does anyone use them for that with good results? Any tips for using them in that way?

    They would be great for thickening soup- if you don't want a weird texture, try grinding them in a coffee grinder first and use them as chia flour.

    I dont eat them alone... They are in my Shakeology, makes it easy for me to get the benefit but not worry about how to add them.

    I've used these :)

    I mixed them in with Overnight Oats, but I'm not sure what else to use them with yet. I'm sure you can google recipes with chia seeds.

    I put them in my oatmeal, but I hear they are also great in smoothies.

    I sprinkle them on my food. I also have eaten them just plain. I also put them in my protein shakes too. I haven't in awhile though.. need to get back to it!
