    I have a bag of chia seeds and use them in smoothies but haven’t tried them in other foods. Have to soak them and try them in the overnight oatmeal.

    We add chia seeds to lots of recipes, including smoothies. One of my favorite recipes is homemade chia pudding made with almond milk and vanilla bean powder.
