For an easy way to enjoy chia seeds, simply soak them in water or your alternative milk of choice. In just 20 minutes, they take on a chewy texture reminiscent of tapioca pudding. You can refrigerate them for up to five days, so make a big batch on the weekend and enjoy them throughout the week. Stir a couple of spoonfuls into a smoothie or oatmeal—or layer them with fresh fruit and maple syrup for a parfait.

Soaked Chia Seeds

Chia seeds

Almond milk or water

Soak the seeds in almond milk or water (1/4 cup seeds to 1 cup liquid) until they take on a chewy texture reminiscent of tapioca pudding, about 20 minutes. Soaked chia seeds can be refrigerated for up to 5 days, so you can make a big batch at the start of the week.

We've all heard about the health benefits of chia seeds. Enjoy them in a chia parfait. Stir them into a smoothie or your morning oatmeal.
