These days chia seeds are everywhere! Chock full of fiber and omega-3’s, these little seeds can be added to juices, baked into muffins or even toasted and sprinkled on your salad. Soaked in liquid they get a gel-like coating. Endurance athletes love them in beverages for their super hydrating power.

My current favorite is to make a breakfast chia pudding! Assemble the night before with chia seeds, gluten-free oats, coconut milk, and a touch of honey. Let it sit overnight in the refrigerator while the plumping begins. The next morning, you can top it with fresh fruits – yum!

I love this photo and the recipes from Wellness Mama – She has a great blog on Chia!

And there are a ton of cool chia dessert puddings recipes online, too. Like chia jam, made with fresh cooked berries, honey, and chia seeds.

So try something new and get your cha-cha-cha-chia on! –Kathy
