There are many ways you can use chia seeds! You can sprinkle them on top of yogurt or oatmeal for added crunch and nutrition. You can also mix them into smoothies or protein shakes to thicken them up and add a boost of omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds can also be used to make chia pudding by mixing them with milk or a milk alternative and letting them sit in the fridge overnight. They absorb the liquid and turn into a pudding-like consistency that's delicious and healthy. I personally love using True Elements Chia seeds because they are high-quality and add a nice texture to my meals. They are a great addition to any healthy diet!
