Chia seeds. So you hear about them here a lot especially if you have constipation. So I have hemmed hawed on get them. They aren't attractive and really I wasn't sure I wanted black specks floating in my shake. But...after trying them...I have to say I am enjoying them..to me it's the texture they give to the shake..I like it! And the add benefit of helping with constipation is an added bonus plus omega 3s never hurt. So for those of you who have chatted with me about the chia seeds, I humbly bow to your superior knowledge of the product and say.."thank you for putting up with the doubting Thomas while she made up her mind"! I am Piplula and I like Chia seeds.

They can be really nom nom in a thick tea...kinda like tapioca.

I'm having 1t of them in my yogurt for lunch today.

So glad you have come over to the seedy side!

They are also good in pudding/yogurt, especially if you like tapioca. I really like them crunchy in my protein shakes, but to get the full effect of constipation relief I think it's best to let the shake sit in the fridge for 20-30 minutes and let them gel. The shake gets real thick, it's more filling, and the seeds work their magic better.

I did like them both crunchy and thick and soft! And I found that to be astounding because I am very finicky about textures....think Jello....yuck! But chia seeds and me I think could be great friends!

Why do they have to be in the frig? I've got really sensitive teeth (Sjorgrens Syndrome) and can't handle cold drinks very easily.

Thanks!

My shake wasn't in the frig. My was left out at room temp and I drank it at room temp. I enjoyed it! I think Butta likes his drinks cold.

Where do u get them ?!

Walgreens has them,I would imagine any health food store

I got mine at Whole Foods.
