I ordered some Chia seed recently… first try, put some in a smoothie, directly into the wet ingredients. Either I didn’t process it long enough, or adding to the wet ingredients was a goof! I had little “gel clumps” throughout the smoothie. Still drinkable and it didn’t taste bad, just didn’t care for the texture feeling much.

So the next time, I made sure to only add the chia after the blender (Vita-Mix) was running… and no clumps, no gel, couldn’t tell they were there. Which then makes you wonder “Why did I buy this stuff again?” Honestly, couldn’t tell whether I’d used my normal flax meal or the chia. There, but not detectable if you know what I mean.

I guess next, I’ll have to try sprinkling on yogurt or oatmeal and see just how weird things get. Toasting might be fun too! With my luck I’ll burn them.

I have never tried chia but now being the food masochist that I am I want to. I think I could do the toasting thing and maybe throw it in with some vegetables. I think this chia might be a good idea. You are funny

Chia rocks. I like to just swallow great mouthfulls and then spend a while finding little gooy nuggets of it in my teeth, with my tongue.
I’m not selling it well, am I?
Lurve chia.

Okay, I’ll admit that I am becoming more curious….

Hmm, I’ve never tried Chia. I must admit. I am quite intrigued now from your post

I’ve been eating chia for a couple of weeks now, and don’t mind the gel at all. In fact, I kinda like it. LOL. I put chia in my cereal in the morning, in my oatmeal, in my yogurt.

I like chia! I just ordered more from Hidalgo Foods.

With my luck, I’ll win the Chia, rather than the cool jewelry or bike you’ve recently offered up.

But, if I win, I’d be sure to try it!

I’ve never tried chia, but now I’m curious.
How ’bout I sit over hear, watch, and applaud all you chia-eaters?

I’ve not yet tried it, but I would certainly share my opinion if I were given a bag!
