    When I make smoothies, I put everything in the magic bullet. Don't feel the seeds.

    Do you think it's better to put them in smoothies after they've soaked up some water or should I put them in dry?

    Do you put them in anything else?

    Same thing happened to me. I don't know what the deal is. I let them soak.... I let them soak for an hour.... I let them soak overnight. They didn't gel.

    I just sprinkle them into my smoothies, dry.

    i made them myself in some lemon water, i had to stir it every couple of mintues otherwise they would bunch at the bottom and stick together, but i didnt have a problem with them gelling. i usually just sprinkle them on my yogurt dry tho.

    Ditto with a drink called "Mama Chia", amazing!

    I use them in oatmeal - I used to buy this Garden of Life fiber mix that had a hefty amount of chia seeds but now l just pulverize them with flaxseeds and nuts then eat them in oatmeal.

    I bought the white chia seeds at GNC, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.... I also notice that you have to put just the right amount of water in there, and stir after 5 minutes or so to break up any clumps. Mine definitely turn into chia gel pudding or something like that! They become very gelatinous and thick.

    I found out about them on that anorexic forum/blog that someone started a thread about on here..... the anorexic girls were raving about how they have hardly any calories but fill up your stomach. Upon further research, they are chock full of omega threes, and are a perfect addition to a protein shake to keep you feeling fuller. I wonder though if you can consume too much omega threes.... I already drink Flax milk and add that to my shakes, and take fish oils.
