Chia Seeds

I am obsessed with chia seeds. My kids continue to be the pickiest of eaters, so I need to get in healthy food anywhere I can.

Aside from making chia pudding, I seriously add chia seeds to everything I bake. Cookies, brownies, muffins, pancakes, waffles, you name it. They are tasteless and you don’t even need to adjust a recipe to add some.

You can get them online at amazon or at any natural market.
