I'm eating a salad right now with about 3 tblsps of chia seeds on top.

I put chia seeds on everything.

You can pop a few frozen strawberries in your pudding while it sets up.

I make overnite oatmeal with lots of chia seeds, too.

I even sneaked (snuck?) them in our salsa last night.  My husband didn't notice, I don't think.

Same goes for hemp seeds, they're really good for you, too.

@Lucky Charm I originally bought the chia seeds to make homemade keto granola.  There's hemp seed, flaxseed, and som3 other things it as well.  I new it was health, just didn't realize how healthy.  

Can you really eat that much in a day?  I thought the max was a couple of tablespoons.

I usually eat less, but I was finishing up a bag and it all came out and there was no way I could scoop it off the salad.

Usually 2 heaping scoops for my oatmeal which is enough servings for 2-3 days.

@JeanLouiseFinch   Chia seeds are loaded with Omega 3s....love the pudding and eat it often.  I like putting frozen berries when I blend the chia and almond milk.  So many ways to make this pudding....great little treat!

Those crazy seeds get stuck between my teeth all the time and it takes forever to get them dislodged.  Am I the only one that has this problem?

@Suzeecat  Yes,that does happen.  Have you tried running them through a spice grinder?  I did that with the batch I made last night so I'll see what happens after I consume my pudding at lunch today.

Today's serving, using seeds that were blended in the spice grinder, had a smoother consistency.  No seeds stuck in my teeth either.

I'm so making this.  Going to use Vanilla Almond milk.

Can anyone tell me what type of grinder they use to grind up those 'tiny' chia seeds?  Thank you

@sarahpanda I bought an inexpensive coffee grinder at Walmart and designated it for this purpose.  I could see using it for certain spices too, but no coffee beans.
