- Smoothies. A popular way to use chia seeds is in smoothies. A tablespoon or less of fresh seeds or chia gel is all you need to add texture and nutrients to your fruit and veggie smoothies.
- Salad Dressings. Chia seeds blend well with salad dressing ingredients such as olive oil, vinegars, honey, and lemon juice. Add about a tablespoon of seeds to most any salad dressing recipe.
- Pudding. You may find chia pudding on the menu at organic cafes and health food stores, but it’s simple to make your own versions at home. Chia pudding is similar in consistency to tapioca.
- Baked Goods. If you’re not a fan of chia seeds’ gelatin-like texture, try adding them to baked goods. Chia gel helps keep baked goods moist and may be used in place of eggs or as a thickener.
- Granola, Protein Bars, or Energy Bars. Chia seeds give homemade granola, energy, or protein bars a fiber boost. Try making chia seed energy bars made from dates, coconut oil, chia seeds, vanilla, and any add-ins you choose such as dark chocolate, coconut, and dried fruit.
- Chia Drinks. Expensive chia drinks are all the rage in health food stores and juice bars. Save money and make your own by adding 2 to 3 tablespoons chia seeds to 2 cups water or coconut water and 1 cup fruit juice or pureed fresh fruit.
- Popsicles. If you’re looking for a way to sneak nutrients to picky eaters, add chia seeds to homemade popsicles. Most store-bought popsicles are loaded with sugar, artificial colors, and artificial flavorings, so creating your own is a healthier choice.
- Breadcrumbs. Chia seeds make a great low-carb substitute in recipes that use breadcrumbs as a binder. You will typically need to use less chia than breadcrumbs.
- Jam. Chia seeds and jam may seem like an odd combination, but the seeds serve as a natural gel thickener. Chia seed jam is thinner than traditional jam, but easy to spread on toast and muffins, or drizzle over yogurt, hot cereal, and ice cream.
26 CHIA SEED RECIPES THAT DON’T INVOLVE JUST PUDDING
From bonappetit.com
- Hazelnut Granola and Chia Pudding Bowls. This honey-sweetened granola and rooibos-tea chia pudding are both worth making and enjoying on their own, but together with yogurt and a swirl of jam they become a breakfast you’ll want to eat on repeat.
- Chocolate-Cashew Chia Pudding. This chia pudding is delicious on its own—and even better when layered with maple yogurt as a parfait. View Recipe.
- Tropical Trifle With Coconut and Rum. Creamy, sweet Ataulfo mangoes are ideal for this simple, vibrant dessert. View Recipe.
- Nut Butter Granola Bars. First, if you’re looking to eliminate the egg white (which gives the bars structure), we’ve had success using 2 Tbsp. chia seeds in its place: Add them to the food processor when you blitz the oats.
- Rose and Yogurt Panna Cotta. An unconventional panna cotta inspired by the flavors of falooda: rose syrup, pistachios, and golden raisins all join in. View Recipe.
- Power Butter. If you thought it was impossible to make nut butter more delicious, try this added-value version. View Recipe.
- Seedy Oat Crackers. This crackers recipe features a variety of seeds, and the combination of colors and textures is impressive, but you can use fewer types—just make sure total volume stays the same.
- Blood Orange–Chia Pudding. Why drink O.J. with your yogurt when you can mix it in? View Recipe.
- Tropical Energy Bars. If you can’t find no-sugar-added pineapple, this recipe works with pretty much any dried fruit of your choice. View Recipe.
- Coconut Chia-Tapioca Pudding. If you love the texture of chia pudding, it gets even closer to bubble tea with the addition of tapioca pearls here. View Recipe.
