Chia Seeds in Water, Smoothies and Oats: How to Use Them

Habbitree’s Chia Seeds page suggests smoothies, yoghurt, salads, dough and roti, and drinks.

In drinks and water

Chia seeds take up liquid and thicken it, so many people stir them into water, a drink or milk and leave them for several minutes. That is general kitchen practice, and the product page doesn’t give a method or time.

In smoothies and oats

Add a spoonful to a smoothie, or stir it into oats. The label serving is 30 g, which has 146 kcal, 5.0 g protein and 10.3 g fibre. Start with less than that, because chia thickens quickly.

Store with the lid tightly closed and use a dry spoon. See Chia Seeds: What the Label Says.
