Other than Whole Foods, where do you guys purchase them? I want to try them. Also, what do YOU like to add them to?

    Love the Chia!

    I get them from an all natural health food store in my neighborhood. I love overnight oatmeal:

    1.5 tbs chia seeds
    1/4 cup plain vanilla yogurt (some people prefer greek yogurt...yuck)
    1/4 cup old fashion rolled oats
    1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
    1tbs unsweetened cocoa powder

    mix refrigerate overnight and add some raisens in the morning to sweeten it up. My husband will only eat it with a little sweetener in it but i think its good without.

    I also add some to my smoothies.

    Have not made the chia pudding yet. It may be great but it's too ugly for me to get very excited about.

    I get them off the internet & throw them in my ice cream or morning cereal, although someone said that they need to be pre soaked to get the best from them, as they are tough for the body to break down.

    I couldn't find them in the health food section of any of my local grocery stores. Just as easy to order off of Amazon for me. My first time using them this week!!! I made Overnight Oatmeal from Skinnytaste.com. I absolutely LOVE IT. The seeds don't add any flavor at all, but make the oatmeal concoction a nice texture, thickens it up!

    We got some from a coop in our area. I usually put them in salad dressing and mix it up.

    I buy Chia seed at most grocery stores I shop at. They are usually in the health dept. or near the flaxseed area. Also any natural food store will have them. I use them with yogurt, oatmeal, salads, soups, smoothies, eggs, fruit juice, PB2, pudding, and mixing a couple tsp with a quarter cup of water to make an egg sustitute for baking.

    I just received mine yestereday in the mail, from Amazon.com. I put it in my water this morning and might throw some on my lunch later. It creates a different type of texture and some seeds stay crunchy. I didn't mind it though.

    I get them at nuts.com and add them to overnight oats, yogurt, and smoothies. I also sprinkle them on scrambled eggs, roasted veggies, and salads. You can add them to pretty much anything for an extra nutritional boost!
