Chia Seeds Garnish

The simplest way to use chia seeds is sprinkling them directly on your foods, either whole or ground. You can grind them in a pepper mill or coffee/nut grinder.

Try sprinkling 1/4-1 teaspoon (or more) on foods, including:

• Salads
• Smoothies
• Blender drinks
• Cereals (hot or cold)
• Dressings
  Soups
• Sandwiches/wraps
• Eggs
• Fruit and vegetable juices
• Herbal teas
• Ground meats (e.g., mix into meatloaf before cooking)
• Salsas
• Sauces
• Pastas/noodles
• Nut butters (e.g., peanut or almond butter)
• Nut milks
• Humus
• Tahini
• Spreads
• Fresh fruits
• Rice
• Potatoes
• Grilled foods
• Beans
• Fish
• Stir Frys

Chia seeds are also excellent when included in baked goods, including breads, muffins, cookies, cakes, pies, macaroons, etc. Be creative: consider adding chia seeds for recipes that you might usually use flax, sesame, poppy, or hemp seeds.
