@midlifegap: Chia seed soaking experiment: water vs almond milk vs soy milk vs Greek yogurt. I let them soak for 12 hours and only water gave me a full gel. Here's why: the chia’s outer coating needs FREE water to absorb, and milk/yogurt have proteins and fats already binding to the water. I soak in water, then add to my overnight oats, smoothies, yogurt bowls, etc. #chiaseeds #chiapudding #fiber #womenover40 #soakedchiaseeds
This explains why I got terrible constipation with chia seeds

I like soaking mine in freshly brewed coffee. Once it’s gelled I add some cocoa powder, Greek yogurt and Splenda. Start the morning with mocha chia pudding

That’s funny because the chia seeds I use absorb well into Greek yoghurt 🤔

I use water FIRST always. They have to activate in the water then I will put them in yogurt, smoothie, tea, whatever but I always activate them first 🌸

This is interesting because I soak mine in soy milk, and they soak and plump up very well

If you grind the chia seeds, you get more nutritional absorption.
