Add to smoothie
Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or minced flax seeds to smoothies with fruit and milk as usual. These seeds help smoothies become thicker, while adding fiber without changing the flavor.
Making chia seed pudding overnight
Mix 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with half a cup of milk, then put it in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning, you will have a fiber-rich pudding that creates a feeling of fullness for a long time. You can eat it with Greek yogurt and berries to enhance the flavor and add fiber.
Mix with oatmeal
Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of minced flax seeds or chia seeds into a warm oatmeal bowl. This method helps increase fiber and add a light aroma without changing much of the dish texture.
Combined with yogurt
Mix chia seeds into yogurt and leave for a few minutes. Then, add fresh fruits, nuts, or granola for a balanced and nutritious meal.
Add to grilled dishes
Chia seeds and flaxseed can both be used when making pancakes and muffins.
