Direction:
Simply add Chia seeds to everything you eat to reduce the glycemic load of any recipe. Take up to 5 tablespoons of Chia per day. Be sure to drink adequate water. Chia’s neutral taste will nutritionally enhance all meals without altering the original flavor. Add 1-2 tablespoons of Chia to smoothies, desserts, yogurt, cereal, berries, on top of salads and all savory dishes. Make puddings, sauces and dressings. Chia remains stable even when incorporated into soups, oatmeal and baked goods. Use as a flour substitute or as a natural thickening agent. Vegetarians can even use it as an egg replacement by creating a gel. Simply combine 2 tablespoons of Chia to 1 cup of cold water. A ½ cup of gel replaces roughly one egg. Add 1-2 tablespoons of Organic Traditions Chia seeds to your favorite smoothie recipe to create a nourishing, antioxidant rich smoothie.
