Bring 1 can (2cups)of lite Coconut milk or cream to just boiling point.remove from heat and Add one packet of diet jelly (any flavor)stirring until dissolved. Cool down a bit then add 4 tablespoon’s of white or black Chia seeds. Refrigerate but stir occasionally to prevent Chia seeds from clumping. Makes a lovely refreshing dessert.

Lisa’s Frozen Chia Dessert

1 frozen banana
1/3 C. soy milk, almond milk, etc.
1 T. chia seeds

I put the banana into the food processor to break it up, then add the milk and the chia seeds. It gets very thick, like ice cream. One serving is 173 calories, if you use nonfat soy milk.

I keep meaning to add cocoa and some agave nectar, or even some vanilla, but I’ve been enjoying it plain and never quite get around to making additions.

Tamara’s Smoothie

Here’s my favorite smoothie:

1 cup coconut milk

1 tbsp chia seeds

So good!

Jennifer’s Smoothie

I drink my chia smoothie every morning and feel full and energized. I use a frozen banana (cut into pieces of course before I freeze it), half a cup of wild frozen blueberries, a few frozen strawberries, hemp protein powder, 1 T of organic chia seeds, and aloe water. Delicious!

Catherine’s Fridge Oatmeal

I’ve fallen in love with chia seeds. I add them to pasta sauces, toss them in my daughters’ oatmeal, and make refrigerator oatmeal with them.

Fridge oatmeal: 1/4 cup old fashioned (not quick) oats, 1/4 cup Fat freet Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup fat free milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons chia seeds, 1/4 cup fresh fruit. Use raspberry yogurt and fresh raspberries. Put together in a mason jar, shake it up and pop in the fridge over night, a super quick and easy filling and healthy breakfast!
