I had been wanting to try some different chia recipes for a long time. I used these to mix with yogurt..WIN...super yummy. Next I tried it in smoothies again...awesome. They also store very well and have a long shelf life
please mark if this helped
So I hate being healthy and decided simply drinking chia seeds was a good start. I was wrong. These little suckers dissolved in water are gunky. The get all gelatinous and stick to your throat and the taste does not go away. So I recommend not drinking them. However, they are healthy so I do recommend them, just not with water alone.
These are a great healthy addition to any pantry. I love mixing 1/4 chia seeds with 1 cup almond milk and 1 tbsp honey, keeping it in the fridge overnight, mixing it in the morning, and adding blueberries on top for an incredibly healthy and yummy breakfast. You can add them in smoothies, baked goods, and basically anything you make. Chia seed products are usually so expensive, but with this, you can easily make your own chia foods/drinks at home
These chia seeds were great, and are a great value. They are organic, non-GMO, and high in omega-3s. They are fresh, and arrived well-packaged. The package itself is re-sealable, so they stay fresh longer. You should store them in the fridge. My family's favorite way to use them is to add a tablespoon or two to overnight oats. In a mason jar, add 1/2 cup organic whole rolled oats, 1tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp whole organic yogurt (optional), a dash of honey or maple syrup, a dash of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup milk. Mix it up and let it sit in the fridge overnight. In the morning, you have perfectly gooey oats! You can top with fruit too.
This is an awesome product... certified organic raw chia seeds. I enjoy them on yogurt or in my oatmeal or in baked goods but especially like them in my smoothies. I read soaking 2 Tbsp of chia seed for 5 minutes in 3-4 oz of water to produces a nutritious chia gel that can be added to hundreds of recipes like banana or chocolate pudding or even protein chia bars. There is also a chia ceral on the back of the package that uses chia seed, hempseed, coconut manna, water, fruit of your choice and honey..... So very good. The price is exceptional too for the amount you get. I've added the ingredient list below just so you can see all the yumminess you are getting in every tablespoon!!! Highly recommend.

Love these chia seeds. Great quality and I appreciate the resealable bag. I use them in my shakes about once or twice a week and this pack lasted for a long time before I had to buy more. For the price, it's definitely worth it if you're not completely sold on chia seeds and want to try them out.
I've seen this exact product selling for over $10 in my health food store! I was so happy to get this at such a reasonable price online ^^
Chia seeds are fantastic. I put them in my yogurt, in my and in my drink (in this case it's tart cherry juice diluted with water). I also add this to my quinoa flakes that I make for myself when I want something hot, and is a great alternative to oatmeal, and I find tastes just as good, or even better than cream of wheat (farina)
But what I love the most is that you only need 1 tbsp to get the max nutritional benefits. I had bought chia seeds from a different company before, and they weren't organic, and you needed 3 tbsp. If you can imagine putting 3 tbsp of little black seeds into your yogurt in the morning, which expand the longer they're in the liquid, you can imagine it wasn't too fun to eat!
I love these seeds after hearing about them on the Dr. Oz show a few weeks ago. I ordered one bag from Amazon and I mix one level tablespoonful into my Greek yogurt with fruit at lunchtime. Sometimes I let it sit in the fridge while I eat an apple so the little seeds can swell a bit. However, I have eaten it without the wait and the seeds are just fine. I like their nutty flavor and, after a month of eating them each day, I can already tell that I am less hungry throughout the day and evening. I first bought a package on Amazon to try them and I liked them so much that I have now subscribed for a regular shipment every other month. I checked the price of similar brands at both Whole Foods and Costco and Amazon's Nutiva brand is much cheaper. I'm sold on this product and expect to be a fan for a long, long time. Thanks, Nutiva, Amazon, and Dr. Oz!
THE PRODUCT: Everything about these Nutiva Organic Chia Seeds are awesome!! They are a great source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. Let me just say.... the fiber is extremely reliable (heehee). I put them in my spinach salads, my protein drinks, and I even put a rounded tablespoon in a half cup of cold organic milk, and let it rest in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. Even with no sweetener, it has a nutty gelotenous taste. Like a pudding of sorts (a healthy snack).
SELLER & SHIPPING: Product was exactly as the seller described. The package arrived very quickly, which helped me because I only had two servings left, and I didn't want to go one day without them. They arrived in the nick of time! With Amazon Prime, I enjoy the benefits of free 2 day shipping. I couldn't be happier :)
These chia seeds are a great value. We use them in oatmeal, smoothies, baked goods and salads. They are super nutritious. They are great for our vegetarian lifestyle
