If you like chia seeds, what do you put them on?

I just put some on yogurt and blueberries.  It was not bad

I am not a huge fan so I will put them in a small glass of water and just chug them down.

Or put them in a thicker smoothie and drink it quickly!

@missusbee, your sig kills me! EVERY TIME!

I usually just put them in smoothies. They are pretty neutral tasting so they can be used to top salads, hummus, baked goods. Sometimes, I leave them to sit to turn to gel as a thickener. It's like magic.

I put them in my morning green smoothie.

Question: Can you use them like fake boba if they get all gelly?

I've never used/seen/tried them.

on a mcdonald's burger & fries, which probably defeats the purpose

Salad, smoothies, baked goods, oatmeal, chili, water, I also put them in essentially anything that requires a breading.

I put them in juice and let it sit for 4 to 6 hours in the fridge. I like it. Whole foods sells drinks like this, and I liked them, so now I do it at home. I specifically like pineapple mango or ginger lemonade, but it works in most juice, though in OJ, it grosses me out.

So far, just smoothies.

But David, who is a picky eater, gets them hidden in everything. I put them in his grilled cheese the other day. Sucka!!!!

I put them in my smoothies and in my oatmeal.

Nope. They turn into slime. Yuck.

I just use them in smoothies. They're not that great.

And he doesn't notice. And he notices EVERYTHING about his food.

Look, I get that a lot of moms on here are anti "hiding things in food" but I am at the end of my rope with this kid. Other than sweet potato fries, he will not eat ONE fruit or vegetable. I still put fruit and veggies on his plate, but in the meantime, this kid needs some nutrition.

Skinnytaste has a couple chia pudding recipes, and one that is for frozen pudding pops. It looks good in the pictures, lol.
