To get the most out of them, aim for 1 to 2 tablespoons a day.
- Overnight Chia Pudding: Mix 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of almond or coconut milk. Add a drop of vanilla or honey. Stir well, let it sit for 5 minutes, stir again, and refrigerate overnight.
- "Internal Glow" Water: Mix 1 teaspoon of seeds into a large glass of water with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Let it sit for 15 minutes until the seeds look like little gel beads before drinking.
- The Power Topping: Simply sprinkle a spoonful over your Greek yogurt, oatmeal, or even into a smoothie. They have a very mild, nutty flavor that blends into almost anything.
Safety Note: Always consume chia seeds that have been pre-soaked or mixed with moist food (like yogurt). Do not eat a large spoonful of dry seeds alone, as they can expand in your throat and cause a choking hazard.
