20 Ways To Eat Chia Seeds Without Even Noticing



For some odd reason, chia seeds elicit a negative response in people who have never tried them. It's somewhere on a scale of, "You mean 'ch-ch-ch-Chia?!" and a mashed up face of disgust. Don't ask me why this is the knee-jerk response to these little miracle seeds of which have zero taste and a satisfying crunch. So I'm going to make it easy for you if your initial reaction to the thought of trying chia seeds is fear and/or disgust. Here is a list of 20 things you can put chia seeds into and not even notice you're eating them.


  1. Chili
  2. Oatmeal (yummy recipe here!)
  3. Smoothies (some smoothie ideas here)
  4. Green Salads
  5. Other Salads (tuna, chicken, egg, potato)
  6. Mac and cheese
  7. On Top of Pizza
  8. Guacamole (add a couple tablespoons to this recipe!)
  9. PB&Js (your kiddos will never know)
  10. Omelets
  11. Salsas and Dips (Add it to hummus to go to a new level of healthy!)
  12. Casseroles
  13. Yogurt Parfaits (if you're really daring, add them to this quinoa parfait!)
  14. Jambalaya
  15. Coleslaw
  16. Marinades (Salmon, anyone?)
  17. Soups
  18. Apple sauce
  19. Rice Dishes
