Whilst chia seeds can be eaten directly out of the packet as a crunchy snack, there are many more tasty, versatile ways to incorporate them into your diet.
Milled chia seeds are ground to a fine powder so you can easily mix these into drinks like smoothies with no fuss. They can also be used in baking as an extra ingredient for making cakes or brownies with some added protein. Whole chia seeds could even be sprinkled onto your morning porridge, granola, or yoghurt - it is that simple!
When putting dry chia seeds in water, they create a jelly-like mixture that can be used as an egg replacement, to thicken sauces and even used to make sugar-free jams, puddings, and bakes.
