Ch-ch-ch-Chia! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. And if you’re not old enough to know what I mean by that then just keep reading because this recipe is really yummy.
Instagram and Pinterest are filled with chia seed recipes and ideas and I really had no idea what to do with it before I started seeing it everywhere. In fact, the first time I had a taste was in my nail salon. OK, I know that sounds strange, eating chia seeds in a nail salon. One of the gals made an almond milk mixture that was full of black chia seeds. She gave me a little bit to taste and it was really good.
So armed with my new found chia love, I did some research and learned that it’s packed with Omega 3 and is high in protein. But where to buy it? I turned to my trusty Amazon.com and learned that the seeds come in both white and black varieties. OK – I’ll take one of each.
Chia seeds remind me of tapioca. I add them to yogurt, coconut milk, or almond milk and place them in the refrigerator overnight. Those little round seeds plump up, taking on the flavor of the liquid and now you have a nutrient-packed snack or breakfast.

Hi Cindy, Thanks for reaching out. You add them to the yogurt strawberry mixture after it’s been blended. I’ve updated the recipe; please take a look.
