found this on pinterest. so i went out and picked up some mason jars today and chia seeds. i ended up making 8 smoothies to put in the refrigerator. that'll save me time on breakfast!

anyone else ever made these? and who else uses chia seeds? what else can you put them in besides smoothies? what do YOU use them in?

I put a tablespoon of chia seeds and a tablespoon of water in the bowl for a few minutes to soften up, than put yoghurt with blueberries / nuts / linseed etc on top.

Chia seeds absorb liquids and turn to a gel. I usually add it to my steel cut oats every morning and to my smoothies. I've also made a chia pudding with them.
