2 TBS chia seeds soaked in very hot water for 15 minutes. Then drain the water off.

1 TBS coconut oil

1 medium keurig cup of coffee

2 capfulls of SF vanilla Torani syrup.

Put it all in my nutriblender, and let it rip for 30 seconds.

I wanted more fiber in my diet, so I am going to do it this way. There is a TINY bit of grit from the seeds, but I don't mind it.

    That sounds really good! I've only just been using my chia seeds for making pudding, I might try that in my hot morning bulletproof matchalatte.

    If you make 1:3 chia gel and keep it ready in your fridge you might be able to get rid of the gritty texture.

    Most likely you are correct.

    Basically you just put chia seeds in a liquid, and within a certain amount of time, the seeds puff up and become jelly like..... or, gel like. Some people only let them sit 15 minutes, some let them soak overnight.

    1 part chia seeds to 3 parts liquid. I tend to use almond milk.
