    I stick them in my greek yogurt, and then top the yogurt with granola and fresh fruit.

    I've also stuck them in my eggs.

    I know people throw them into their juices and smoothies.

    I have done the yogurt thing and it isn't bad, and it definitely makes it more filling... but I don't love the two textures together.

    Baked goods have been the best solution I have heard. I had mini-lemon chia muffins and they were scrum-diddly-umptious.

    I love to grate 1/2 of an apple, sprinkle it with cinnamon and add 1-2tbsp chia. Put in the fridge for a bit, and enjoy.

    Chia seed pudding. Google it, but the basics are 1/3 cup chia seeds added to 1 cup of milk, I use almond milk (or any liquid really) and it turns into a gel like substance. Add a little flavour and/or sweetener and/or butter and mix and it makes for quite a healthy and delicious breakfast. I usually let it set it in the fridge overnight, but you have to make sure to give it one mix or shake a few minutes after your initial mix or it tends to clump on the bottom.

    I like it warmed up a little in the microwave.

    Nothing memorable for sure. I've done chia pudding, it's meh. Not even that filling for me. It does seem to make overnight oats a bit better though (for some reason I'm not that fond of them).
