You can consume them almost any way. I prefer to put them in my Protein drinks and let it sit for about 1/2hr so they swell. But you can mix them into pudding, yogurt, sprinkle the on to whatever you are eating, I've mixed them into Peanut Butter. I've even eaten them straight.

Just make sure that you drink plenty while using them as they will absorb water, whether it is before consumption, or in your belly.

BTW, I like your new AVI

Avitar...got it lol. Ty i just got my hair done, darker. Who knew brunettes are sexier? Lol

I like the juice of half a lime, 12 ounces of Water, a bit of stevia and a table spoon of chia seeds. I let it sit for about 20 minutes and YUMMMMMMMMY I'm pre-sleeve so I know that the lime is out of the picture for a few months post-op.. does anyone know when you can start incorporated hydrated chia seeds? I was reading some MU paperwork that I think they said 3 months before adding seeds... but I don't know that hydrated chia seeds really count as seeds since they're kinda, goopy?

Also another way to eat them, is to pre-make them into a gel by adding to waterand store the gel in your fridge, then just incorporate into whatever you want. That way there's no waiting for the seeds to hydrate. Some people do it this way if they like to use in yogurt or apple sauce.
