It has all those juices from concentrate, but just 2 grams sugar in 8 fl oz, so it must be like microscopic amounts of the juices. Plus, it has shit in it I and many others would avoid, but I know most people don't care about what goes into their bodies

yeah, but it made the chia seed gel palatable.

I got a small pack at trader joes. If I like them I hope they sell them at BJs because that shit was pricey IMO. There is a recipe on the back for chia seed pudding. Chia seed, coconut milk, honey, and flavoring (vanilla or cocoa or citrus juice) I believe. Gonna try that.

Chia pudding is made and in the fridge. Will hopefully enjoy in the AM.

I made a modified version of this last night with some chia seeds in it. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/banana-oatmeal-bread-10000000222215/

I just mixed some chia seed gel into Greek yogurt, threw on some grapes, cherries, raspberries and walnuts and crumbled a tiny piece of the bread on top. Major yummy.

I have been eating a teaspoon of chia seeds a day... just bought a 2 pound bag, still only half way through with the current 1 pound bag.

For those who care, here is the cheapest you can get them:

2 lbs for $12
3 lbs for $16
6 lbs for $30

Getting back into smoothies, chia seeds, and ground flax seed

Oh wow i recently bumped this. Smoothies didn't work, i just hate veggies that much

However, i just tried a tablespoon of ground flax and tablespoon of chia seed in a 11.5oz can of v8, and chugged it, and it was way tolerable. Might try adding it to yogurt but feel like it will be all gritty etc

I had some chia seed preparation as part of a hotel breakfast recently.

I finished it so as not to contribute to food waste, but it was pretty nasty. The cold oatmeal was much better.

I stayed at one once a few years back that had chia pudding. Never tried it because the gelatinous nature just looks unappealing. I injest before it soaks up liquid
