For instance, not a fan of plain ol cooked oatmeal.
The gummy texture just isnt for me.
I Did My Research
At first I ignored them.
But time went by and chia seeds were still being touted as good sources of protein and fiber.
Health-savvy cooks have turned them intofun parfaits, smoothies and pudding…yes, pudding!
Im willing to step outside of my comfort zone, but not too far.
c’mon tell me youve done this, too.
And, yes, theyre the same thing.
I was pleasantly surprised to find them at Aldi.
(Do you shop there?
Youd love it.)
They were a steal at less than $4 a bag.
I also grabbed a carton of vanilla almond milk.
Then I was set to make chia pudding.
(Little tip: Vanilla almond milk is a mug of happiness when you warm it up).
In the end, Id say the pudding was interesting: smooth little bits with a teeny crunch.
Even though they have a noticeable texture, I would consider adding chia seeds to my diet.
Start with a teaspoon and work your way up.
(Psst:These are some other surprising foods that cause gas.)
Im glad I tried them and I hope you will, too.
