Chia seeds are incredibly nutritious and versatile, making it easy to incorporate them into your daily diet. Packed with fibre, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, they offer numerous health benefits.

Chia Pudding

Combine 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of milk. Stir well and let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. The seeds will absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.

Smoothies

Add a tablespoon of chia seeds to your favourite smoothie recipe. You can either add them directly or soak them in water for 10-15 minutes before blending.

Chia Seed Jam

Cook down your favourite berries and mash them. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds and a little honey or maple syrup to taste. Let it sit until the jam thickens (about 15 minutes).

Chia-Infused Water

Stir 1 tablespoon of chia seeds into a glass of water with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to form a gel-like texture.

Chia Seed Energy Bites

Combine 1 cup of oats, peanut butter (or any nut butter), honey, and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Roll into small balls and refrigerate.

Chia Seed Yogurt Parfait

Layer chia seeds with yoghurt, fresh fruits, and granola in a glass jar. Let it sit for a few minutes so the chia seeds can soften.
