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.
- Chili
- Oatmeal (yummy recipe here!)
- Smoothies (some smoothie ideas here)
- Green Salads
- Other Salads (tuna, chicken, egg, potato)
- Mac and cheese
- On Top of Pizza
- Guacamole (add a couple tablespoons to this recipe!)
- PB&Js (your kiddos will never know)
- Omelets
- Salsas and Dips (Add it to hummus to go to a new level of healthy!)
- Casseroles
- Yogurt Parfaits (if you're really daring, add them to this quinoa parfait!)
- Jambalaya
- Coleslaw
- Marinades (Salmon, anyone?)
- Soups
- Apple sauce
- Rice Dishes
- Tacos
