Where do you get them at?
I got them at the grocery store (Wegmans) in the organic foods section. I've heard you can also buy them at Walgreen's, Whole Foods and through Amazon. The bag I got was about $6.99.0 -
I tried them for the first time today, but not a full tablespoon... I just used a tsp mixed in with my oatmeal. Didn't notice any difference in taste. After eating, I noticed a few seeds in my mouth had gotten the gel coating around them, which was a little strange... I guess they filled me up? I mean, it was only a third of the serving so maybe that's why I didn't notice it as much. Plan to give them a try in pretty much everything here in the next week! I'm excited about it -- doing some research, they really sound like amazing little seeds!0

I've been using them for a week now and just learned about the "jelly" today...so excited to try! I mix them into my protein shakes, sprinkle them on my salads and even today mixed them into scrambled eggs before cooking. I've always been an afternoon nap taker, but not since using these and let's just say I've become very ummmm...regular.0

I put a tablespoon in my oatmeal everyday and the benefits are endless!0

chia pudding!
1 cup almond milk
2 or 3 tbsp chia seed
cinnamon
a pinch of shredded coconut or honey
shake it up real good so they seeds don't cluster and let it set an hour or so
its like tapioca, so good!
I mixed
2 cups almond milk
6 tbsp chia seeds
10-15 drops english toffee flavored stevia
That was amazing!0 -

Chia: the seed
Chai: tea made with spices
Two different things with slightly different spellings, please don't confuse the two, you will not get the same results...
I found a product at my local health food supermarket called "Superseeds" Contains chia, flax and hemp, I love mixing this into my smoothies and into my tomato sauce with shrimp and pouring over steamed spaghetti squash.0 -
For information on chia seeds, flax seeds, flax oil, coconut oil, visit www.kimberlysnyder.net and read some of the blog articles. Hear it from a nutritionist! I love her program. Best decision you'll ever make!0

I have been taking them for a few months now. I put them on anything it will stick to. I put them on my greek yogurt, in sauces, mixed in with rice, just wherever. Unlike flax seeds you are supposed to keep these whole and not grind them to get the full benefits. In Asia they put them in boiling water and create a tea with it.
As for benefits, I couldn't honestly tell you if it was chia seeds or the multitude of other things I started doing at the same time.
I will say this is a stable in my diet because of the incredibly high fiber content.0 -
