Chia seeds and Flaxseed

dwiebe85

What are your favorite ways to use chia seeds and ground flaxseed?

I use the flaxseed in my breakfast muffin recipe and I love chocolate flaxseed pudding (a little like tapioca with crunch).

I'm new to these so I'll be watching this thread for ideas.

So far it's been in my smoothies and mixed with peanut butter for topping apples or rice cakes.

I put ground flax seed in my breakfast shake. I have not tried Chia seeds but am looking into it

I've been mixing chia seeds into my smoothies and my yogurt.

This weekend I hope to try to use them in baking as an egg substitute and as an ingredient in homemade protein/fiber bars!

I just started using Chia seeds and so far have been using them in my oatmeal! I think they would be great in my homemade protein bars as well!

I add Chia seeds into my yogurt in the morning.

I recently read to soak your chia seeds until they gel, then blend to release the nutrients. Tried this in cereal and got too thick, kinda gross, but worked well in smoothies. they will keep you full!

I don't have to soak them if i got them ground, right?

I am in LOVE with chia seeds. I came up with an awesome recipie, 385 calories and packed with protein. Keeps me full all day.

2 tablespoons of Chia Seeds
1/2 oats
1 cup of Soy Milk
(microwave)
1 tablespoon of peanut butter

It tastes soooooo good. If I have an opportunity, I put chia on everything now. I like to put mashed banana on my flax seed waffels, I mix in chia seeds in the mushed banana.

Jelly!?! Very cool. Do you have to soak them or just blend?
