    I made some yesterday and tried it this morning for the first time. Wow, its really good! I had my reservations about eating cold oatmeal but it was great. I made it with a tablespoon of raspberry preserves, a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and topped it with fresh raspberries and slivered almonds before eating. This will be perfect for mornings before work, just grab and go!

    Can you do it with steel cut oats?

    Been making these for my boys, kinda calorie heavy for my first meal but think I might try it for a mid day snack....


    ch-ch-ch-CHIA seeds:

    have more Omega 3 fatty acids than flax seed (important for heart health)
    are the richest non-marine whole food source of Omega-3 (better than salmon)
    absorb 10 times their weight in water and transform into a gel-like substance--great for athletes for maintaining hydration and helps with weight loss by making you feel full longer
    are as high in protein as quinoa
    are loaded with calcium, potassium, Vitamin B, and anti-oxidants
    help balance blood sugar via the gelling action of the seed and it’s unique combination of soluble and insoluble fiber that slow down your body’s conversion of starches into sugars 
    have a neutral taste so they will take on the other flavors in a recipe
    can be eaten whole (unlike flax seed); they don't have to be ground before adding them to food in order to digest them and benefit from their nutrients
    have a two year shelf life, stored at room temperature (flax seeds quickly become rancid and loose their nutritional value)

    I tried this with steel cut oats and regular milk (not Silk or almond milk). I thought it was disgusting. I might give it one more try with the regular oats but am not holding out much hope for liking it. :(
