Soak Before Eating – Chia seeds absorb water and expand. Soaking prevents choking risks and aids digestion.
Mix with Water – A simple way is to stir a tablespoon of chia seeds into a glass of water and let them sit for 15–20 minutes before drinking.
Make Chia Pudding – Mix with milk or yogurt and refrigerate overnight for a tasty, nutritious pudding.
Use as Egg Substitute – Mix 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it gel to replace one egg in baking.
Bake into Recipes – Include chia seeds in muffins, pancakes, and bread for extra nutrition.
Avoid Dry Consumption – Eating dry chia seeds alone can cause them to expand in your throat, leading to discomfort.
Control Portions – Stick to 1–2 tablespoons per day to avoid digestive issues like bloating.
Stay Hydrated – Chia absorbs liquid, so drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
