Chia seeds are super versatile because they do not have much flavor, says Prest, “so you can mix them with many different foods.”One easy way to enjoy chia seeds is as nourishing beverage boosters, says Newgent. “Just blend one or two teaspoons of them into your next smoothie or even stir some into a juicy cocktail!”
You can also make a chia seed pudding, add to overnight oats, jams, and even coleslaw, says Prest, for a thicker consistency and an added health boost. If you’re a baker, chia seeds also pair particularly well with baked goods like bread.
If you’re not one to follow a recipe, you can simply toss chia seeds into any salad, cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, or even sprinkle them into rice dishes for a variety of texture. The opportunities to add chia seeds into your day are endless!
