Today was the first time I saw your RUclips station. I really enjoyed your presentation. I also learned about grinding chia seeds from Dr. Greger -- it is soooo much better. I use ground chia in my porridge every morning in addition to prunes and cinnamon. I look forward to looking at your other RUclips videos.
Thanks so much for leaving a note. It's so great to hear from you! We are both Dr. Gregor fans! I spoke to him once on my podcast - he is a great guy! Ground chia for breakfast seems like a great way to start your day. 🌺
14:23 I sometimes use them in buns, and often sprinkled on salads. But my favorite is soured yogurt (Lactobacillus acidophilus) with some chia seeds, and nordic organic blueberries, sometimes I add some whey protein or hemp protein as well, or sprinkle it with sesame seeds.
I don't eat much oatmeal anymore, but I used to grind flax seed, chia seed, and hemp seed in my coffee grinder to mix into the oatmeal. I'd also add a little oatmeal into the grinder so the seed wouldn't stick to the grinder as much.
@@nerther7625 I've become used to eating two eggs and a slice of bacon (or some other protein) instead. Winter's coming on, though, so I may start eating more oatmeal again.
I have used them whole to thicken rice pudding made in an instant pot. 1 c. Rice, 3 cups liquid of choice, 2 T. Chia seeds and sweetener of choice. I haven’t ground them yet but I will be trying that soon, thank you for your video.
Your rice pudding sounds delicious! We are on the same frequency because I use chia to thicken my fruit pies - it makes them perfectly firm but still moist. Can't wait to try your rice pudding recipe!
Great point about nutrient absorption - what a lot of people don't realise is, to put it politely, whole seeds, especially the tiny ones, tend to make their way out the other end intact by their nature - this is how plants use animals to disperse seeds! So for seeds that are too tiny to chew, grinding them up makes a big difference nutritionally, unless you only want the benefit of the fibre/bulk.
Yes, very good point! One point I took away from your comment is this: Fiber is the one guaranteed benefit you get from eating the whole seed, but when it's ground you get the fiber AND the rest of the seeds' nutrients.
@@patnewson6908 Long story warning! When we first moved into our house we discovered we had brown recluse spiders. Pretty dangerous little critters! When we were trying to identify what kind of spiders they were, I found a site that said it's easy to tell brown recluse spiders because they have 6 eyes instead of 8. And I thought, who is gonna get that close to identify how many eyes they have? I kinda feel the same about chia seeds and your comment. 😂
I know that flax seeds lose their nutrients if ground ahead of time so must be ground right before using, wouldn't chia seeds be the same? Wouldn't the omega 3s oxidize if ground days before using?
Great question! As long as they're stored correctly (in an air tight container in the fridge or freezer) the level of oxidization is minimal. We always store ground flax and chia in the fridge/freezer. Bloe is an article that explains this. But if you feel better grinding immediately before using that's fine, too! www.eatingwell.com/article/290627/are-store-bought-pre-ground-flaxseeds-as-nutritionally-effective-as-buying-whole-seeds-and-grinding-yourself/
Hi Marly, I make a chia gel and keep it in a jar in the refrigerator. Then I put it into my coffee in the morning. Thanks for the tip to grind it with the coffee grinder!
Wow! That's really interesting. Does it change the consistency of your coffee? I like the idea of making the gel and keeping it handy in the fridge. Makes me think, I bet I could use an ice cube tray and make a big batch of frozen chia gel cubes!
I have been consuming chia seeds for a while now and i just soak them in water til thick and mix with plain yogurt and little honey for snacks and probiotic but i guess i am not getting the maximum butrition ...i will definitely buy another blender (a strong one like you said) thank you🙏🙏😘😘😋😋
Your snack sounds amazing! Let me know how the ground chia seeds work for you. We have a vitamix and use it every day so we've been very happy with it. 🌺
Sounds great, Lily! I'm so glad you enjoy that healthy start to your day. Shawn and I have a smoothie every morning - but a lot of the same ingredients as your breakfast, too!
I Love Chia seeds. Have been using them for years. Yes, for the Nutrition, also I Love ice cream & it's not the healthiest thing to eat frequently. But I feel I can use Chia seeds in coconut milk & fruit & freeze and have a much healthier snack w/o the Sugar!
Watching Dr Greger is where I heard about grinding them too. 😊 I grind mine as I go. I don’t grind them in advance. So just in a small portion. I used to have a small coffee grinder attachment for my Bamix stick blender but it broke and I’ve never replaced it. That would have been ideal. So now I just grind a portion as I need them, with my small mortar and pestle. (I found it was much easier than the large mortar). I’m in Australia and yes it’s easy to find chia seeds in any supermarket. I’m using black chia seeds at the moment.
He's such a great resource! I used to have a coffee grinder too, but I leant it to my mom and somehow in the hustle and bustle of her last move, it was lost. So we're in the same "used to have a coffee grinder" club! 😂 Glad to know about using a smaller mortar and pestle. Sometimes doing things by hand like that is so gratifying! 🌺
@ Yes I found the big one which I mostly use was cumbersome so I tried the small one, which I hardly use, but it was perfect! I didn’t replace my coffee grinder because we found vacuum packed ground coffee which became our favourite, so no more grinding. :) But I do think if I had one now I’d use it over the mortar and pestle. Thought I’d mention that because maybe someone doesn’t have a coffee grinder and the mortar and pestle works fine. I probably don’t grind every seed but close enough. 😂
@@sugarplumk2381 Yes, it's definitely close enough! I'm in the same boat - I sure wish I had that coffee grinder back, but then again, it's one less appliance to store in the kitchen...and we don't eve drink coffee! Haha. But it was nice to have for other uses like....chia seeds! But I just do big batches in the vitamix and store the ground chia in the fridge. I love it! Thank you so much for mentioning it - like you say, for folks who don't have the equipment, it's so good to hear from you that mortar and pestle works. Sending you a virtual hug! 🌺
Hey Chia, pet guy. Don’t forget you can sprout these and eat the sprouts. They are also really nutrient dense and yummy! You always have Green in storage with chia seed!
Thank you for your Advice I make a lot of muffins I will use the grinding one I use my coffee grinder for everything like sunflower seed walnuts and Flax seeds and make a seed and nut butter
If you garden, chia makes a fantastic cover crop that winter kills. Also grows well in low water conditions. Easy to harvest seeds and store lots for the year. Or buy them! 😁
I've tried many plant-based protein powders. One of the most affordable is Orgain. It's available at Costco and is quite affordable. It's a decent flavor. As far as flavor goes, one of my favorites is Purely Inspired Organic protein (I've tried chocolate and mocha peppermint and both taste amazing). I also really like Truvani. It's pricier but I wait for it to go on sale. Ka'Chava is also very good and great flavor but pricier. Of course, the time-tested plant-based protein powder is Vega. It's a solid product and well researched. A new favorite for me is Sun Warrior - they have a raspberry flavor I love because it tastes like a raspberry lemonade which makes it a nice, refreshing flavor. And the source of protein is different than pea protein. I hope this is helpful!
@@LAKSHMIANGELES Yes! Freezing is a great idea. We keep our ground flax in the freezer, but for some reason I got into the habit of keeping ground chia in the fridge. I think because we go through it more? But it works either way!
Love this video! I didn't think of grinding them before but will now! I drink them in a mint tea I bought at my local farmers market! I appreciate the ratio info, those cookies look/sound delicious, thank you ❤
Hi thanks for all the great information, as for the question regarding Chia seeds in soup! Absolutely amazing really works well as a thicker and also as the benefits of the omega threes et cetera. Keep up the good work enjoy the video.
Yes, you can double the flax or chia egg for baked goods, but if something calls for 3 eggs, that makes me question whether I'll like the outcome. I might opt for whipped tofu or plant-based yogurt instead of the chia egg. I'm so glad you liked this video! 🌺
I was told for good health to used chia seeds with warm water, squeezed half lemon , apple cider vinegar with the mother 2 tablespoons and 1 tablespoons of honey. Drink it half hour before breakfast 👍 it’s good 😊 for loosing weight too ! I have been using lemon and apple cider vinegar with water water before breakfast for many years now and I mantain a healthy weight of 45 kilograms, just right for my height of 5 foot height 👍 so recently I added chia seeds to help with fibre and cholesterol levels
I put them in water with lemon and maple syrup in the morning… not sure how I would feel about them ground in it 🤔. Couldn’t hurt to try it once I guess.
Thank you for this info. I wonder if China needs to be ground for better assimilation . I saw that tip on one about flax seed. It said the whole seeds go right thru the intestines without any assimilation.
Yes, the same concept is true for chia seeds. These seeds are so tiny that it's nearly impossible for us to chew them. So grinding them first is a great way to achieve that result!
There is a vita mixer with an extra cup or dry cup that you can use for any grain to be compared to in powder. It is not an advertisement I have one in fact that Blender is wonderful s. the dry blender cup is good for any grain.to become powder in a minute .
I highly recommend storing them in the fridge or freezer unless you think you'll use it all within a couple of days. Some folks have commented that they grind their chia seeds in a small coffee grinder and do a day or two at a time. But anything longer than a day or two should be stored in the fridge. In the freezer it can keep for months, in the fridge, it can last several weeks. I hope this is helpful!
I haven't done this myself, but from what I've read you simply lay a cloth on a plate, add a layer of chia seeds, mist them with water, and then place another plate on top. Then mist them daily and they should sprout within a few days. You can sprout chia seeds in a jar too using a sprouting lid. I hope this is helpful!
Of course! We use a Vitamix and we love it. We make smoothies every day and discovered most blenders couldn't handle that kind of use. But the Vitamix (although a more expensive initial investment) handles it everyday. We got ours on sale at Costco so if you wait for a good sale (such as possible Black Friday???) they are more affordable. It is one of my favorite kitchen power tools!
For last 15 yrs have used Chia seeds in salads, scrambled eggs (mixing… only after eggs removed from stove, as unsure if cooking would alter nutrients) From beginning ….used heaping 1/4 C Chia seeds to approx 2/3 C water in small jelly jar. Shake vigorously, leaving on counter for about 1-2 hrs….every half hr. give another hard shake. (Shaking keeps seeds from clumping.) Now I have a fairly thick jell which I refrigerate. 3-5 days. Each dad spoon-out a heaping Tbls. to salads, eggs, soups, yogurt, cottage cheese etc. Now…..what I don’t know……..has this soaking, gelling, softening method, made seeds as absorbable as having to fuss with grinding?
I grind my flax seeds in my coffee grinder, but never would have thought of grinding chia seeds. I will be doing that from now on. Thank you so much for your video! Deb Edmonton, Canada
I used to have a coffee grinder and I loved how you can do small batches of grinding. You helped me decide I need to get another one! I'm so glad you liked the video, Deb. I love chia seeds so much more when they're ground! I hope you will too. 🌺
Let me know what you think: 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for chia egg) 3 tablespoons water (for chia egg) 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas) ¼ cup coconut oil, melted ½ cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cups rolled oats (can use gluten-free oats) ¾ cup flour (whole wheat, all-purpose, or gluten-free blend) ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch of salt Optional add-ins: ½ cup chocolate chips, walnuts, or raisins
Great 😊 topic. I love chia seeds in a glass 12-16 ounces of lemonade lightly sweetened with 2 drops of organic stevia or 1 small package with a teaspoon or so of allulose . I first always put seeds in the cup no more than a tablespoon and a half, then I pour in premade juice mix and stir vigorously for about a minute and then I let it set. I find that this way allows for no clumping (the way if I put the water in first and then try to stir it.) and the seeds float freely within the drink. And when I mix this sweetener contents together, they help to offset each other’s flavor slightly, and it taste very much a kin to regular white sugar..
Sounds so refreshing! Thanks for sharing your drink and your process. I'm going to try it. We visit Arizona (we have family there) when lemons are in season so we always return with lots of fresh lemons. It's so amazing!
I'm so glad you liked this video! Yes, I have ground flax seed, too. Either way, I store them all in the fridge or the freezer because they can go bad so quickly
Xoucan use ground speltand nutter same amounr about just as for a sauce but the add mre water tjis is a Hildegard of Bingen idea as soup vase even for sickness as a diet yoz xan change tjis anf add salt etc if you like 1000 year old idea
There is a seed even better (nutrients absorption) than Chia, it's BASIL SEEDS !! Since i tried it, i only use it Firstly, it producer twice more gelatin then CHIA. You Can find it in Asian stores.
An interesting angle indeed. One thing for we viewers to note (not having a dig at this channel for this) is that it is becoming more and more obvious that some 'commenters' out here in RUclips-land are not ... ahem ... organic beings. In just the top few comments here there are two that are using identical wording and structure, for example. A bit of a warning sign that AI is in the woodwork.
This is not a recipe for my site yet. I'd love your feedback. Should I add it as a recipe? Let me know after you've tried it! 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for chia egg) 3 tablespoons water (for chia egg) 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas) ¼ cup coconut oil, melted ½ cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cups rolled oats (can use gluten-free oats) ¾ cup flour (whole wheat, all-purpose, or gluten-free blend) ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch of salt Optional add-ins: ½ cup chocolate chips, walnuts, or raisins
I totally understand...and agree. It is one reason I do like Prolon. Have you ever tried them? They are super careful about the ingredients they include (and exclude). They are a company focused on longevity of the individual so I think that gives them an edge. Check it out. But, of course, chia seeds are a better plant-based protein option!

Yes, the same concept is true for chia seeds. These seeds are so tiny that it's nearly impossible for us to chew them. So grinding them first is a great way to achieve that result!
Awesome thank you! What a great thing. I had just started to think about grinding them. They help with hydration, but they do fit right in the teeth!
It's really my main reason for grinding them - so they don't get stuck in my teeth. Learning that it's also healthier is a nice bonus! 🤗
I buy Quaker oat brand to add to many dishes too.
That's great! I'll have to check that out!
There is a vita mixer with an extra cup or dry cup that you can use for any grain to be compared to in powder. It is not an advertisement I have one in fact that Blender is wonderful s. the dry blender cup is good for any grain.to become powder in a minute .
Thanks for sharing about this. I'll check it out!
Great suggestion 🎉
Thanks! So Glad you like it! 🌺
VERY INTERESTING SUBJECT ❤ LOVED IT ❤ THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ❤
I'm so glad you liked this topic, Sophie! 🌺
Do you have to keep them in the fridge? How long do they last there?
I highly recommend storing them in the fridge or freezer unless you think you'll use it all within a couple of days. Some folks have commented that they grind their chia seeds in a small coffee grinder and do a day or two at a time. But anything longer than a day or two should be stored in the fridge. In the freezer it can keep for months, in the fridge, it can last several weeks. I hope this is helpful!
Thank you. Good information! Blessings
I'm so glad you found this helpful! 🌺
Thanks for that information,I Like chia seeds
I'm so glad you like chia seeds. I hope you enjoy this way of making them!
I would love to sprout the chia seeds.....any suggestions?
I haven't done this myself, but from what I've read you simply lay a cloth on a plate, add a layer of chia seeds, mist them with water, and then place another plate on top. Then mist them daily and they should sprout within a few days. You can sprout chia seeds in a jar too using a sprouting lid. I hope this is helpful!
If I may ask, what brand of blender is that? And are you happy with it?
Of course! We use a Vitamix and we love it. We make smoothies every day and discovered most blenders couldn't handle that kind of use. But the Vitamix (although a more expensive initial investment) handles it everyday. We got ours on sale at Costco so if you wait for a good sale (such as possible Black Friday???) they are more affordable. It is one of my favorite kitchen power tools!
For last 15 yrs have used Chia seeds in salads, scrambled eggs (mixing… only after eggs removed from stove, as unsure if cooking would alter nutrients) From beginning ….used heaping 1/4 C Chia seeds to approx 2/3 C water in small jelly jar. Shake vigorously, leaving on counter for about 1-2 hrs….every half hr. give another hard shake. (Shaking keeps seeds from clumping.) Now I have a fairly thick jell which I refrigerate. 3-5 days. Each dad spoon-out a heaping Tbls. to salads, eggs, soups, yogurt, cottage cheese etc. Now…..what I don’t know……..has this soaking, gelling, softening method, made seeds as absorbable as having to fuss with grinding?
Sounds like you've found a process that works great for you!
Thanks for this video. Does heating, baking etc damage the precious Omega 3 oil in the chia?
Everything good and thank you so much. But what is the overnight oats? how make this?
I grind my flax seeds in my coffee grinder, but never would have thought of grinding chia seeds. I will be doing that from now on. Thank you so much for your video!

I used to have a coffee grinder and I loved how you can do small batches of grinding. You helped me decide I need to get another one! I'm so glad you liked the video, Deb. I love chia seeds so much more when they're ground! I hope you will too. 🌺
Great tips! would you use chia seeds to sprout?
Yes, absolutely! As long as they're organic then they're good for sprouting.
I use my spice grinder to grind the spoonful of chia I put in my morning oatmeal. Takes 10 seconds. 😋
That's a great idea! A spice grinder is a great way to do it!
When using as egg substitute, do you grind seeds before hand?
Yes, I prefer to grind the seeds before because they absorb the liquid faster!
Would LOVE that banana and peanut butter cookie recipe!!!
Let me know what you think: 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for chia egg)
3 tablespoons water (for chia egg)
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups rolled oats (can use gluten-free oats)
¾ cup flour (whole wheat, all-purpose, or gluten-free blend)
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Optional add-ins: ½ cup chocolate chips, walnuts, or raisins
Thanks
Great 😊 topic. I love chia seeds in a glass 12-16 ounces of lemonade lightly sweetened with 2 drops of organic stevia or 1 small package with a teaspoon or so of allulose . I first always put seeds in the cup no more than a tablespoon and a half, then I pour in premade juice mix and stir vigorously for about a minute and then I let it set. I find that this way allows for no clumping (the way if I put the water in first and then try to stir it.) and the seeds float freely within the drink. And when I mix this sweetener contents together, they help to offset each other’s flavor slightly, and it taste very much a kin to regular white sugar..
Sounds so refreshing! Thanks for sharing your drink and your process. I'm going to try it. We visit Arizona (we have family there) when lemons are in season so we always return with lots of fresh lemons. It's so amazing!
No bake brownies made with healthy seeds and nut flour.
Maybe look up what heat does to omega 3 fatty acids
Thanks! Love your idea for no-bake brownies. Sounds tasty!
Thanks 😊 BREAKFAST OAT CUPS.
Breakfast oat cups are a great way to use chia seeds. Perfect little breakfast bites!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I do my flaxseeds this way. Now I will do my chia seeds this way. 👏👏💯
I'm so glad you liked this video! Yes, I have ground flax seed, too. Either way, I store them all in the fridge or the freezer because they can go bad so quickly
Oatmeal thickener brown rice flour
I use chia seeds to thicken my oatmeal too!
Hello from Costa Rica 😊
Hello, Mareen! 🌺
Thanks Marley 🎉
You're very welcome. I'm glad you liked this topic!

Yes. I use 1 T ground or 1T whole chia seeds.
Thank you ❤
You're weclome! 🌺
i would like to see how you make the banana cookies please
Chia seeds are readily available here in France.
That's great!
Use holy basil seeds instead
It's on my list to try!

This is a great video! I love chia seeds but hate them getting stuck in my teeth as well. Ground it...perfecto!
I'm so glad you liked this! It's a win win! I just grind up a big batch at a time and then store it in a mason jar in the fridge.
I use them in smoothies so they get ground with everything else. If im using for my oatmeal, i just mix with a little water first until gelled.
@10:17 'James says is this the same seeds they use in Chiahua hah hah harharharhar hrahrahhrhhrrah..'😏
Yes. He's hilarious! 😂
Never mind; you just answered my question 😆
🤗
There is a seed even better (nutrients absorption) than Chia, it's BASIL SEEDS !!
Since i tried it, i only use it Firstly, it producer twice more gelatin then CHIA.
You Can find it in Asian stores.
@@suzananda I have read about basil seeds but never tried them. You've encouraged me to give them a go!
An interesting angle indeed. One thing for we viewers to note (not having a dig at this channel for this) is that it is becoming more and more obvious that some 'commenters' out here in RUclips-land are not ... ahem ... organic beings. In just the top few comments here there are two that are using identical wording and structure, for example. A bit of a warning sign that AI is in the woodwork.
Oh will you get on with it!
Thanks for your feedback. I'm constantly working on ways to improve and so I'll add this to the list! 🌺
Recipe for bannana cookies?
This is not a recipe for my site yet. I'd love your feedback. Should I add it as a recipe? Let me know after you've tried it! 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for chia egg)
3 tablespoons water (for chia egg)
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
¼ cup coconut oil, melted

No matter what i do - they are Drano for me… even 1/2 a tsp… soaked for hours or ground - doesn’t matter.. is it just me?? 😕
I eschew protien powder.
Too many ingredients!
I totally understand...and agree. It is one reason I do like Prolon. Have you ever tried them? They are super careful about the ingredients they include (and exclude). They are a company focused on longevity of the individual so I think that gives them an edge. Check it out. But, of course, chia seeds are a better plant-based protein option!
Hello I was wondering if you could tell us or show us your banana cookies recipe please please Am I not looking in the right place cuz I didn't find it here... Thank you so much Bless you Thank you❤❤❤

I like to use white chia seeds for cooking. 🇦🇺. And they don’t show between your teeth. 😅
Yes! That is really important. Where do you get them? I can't find them in the health food stores here in KC. But maybe you get them online?
@@Namelymarly I'm in Australia and all our major supermarkets stock them.
We grow chia here in Australia
@@heartshapedisle I did not know that! I'm sure that is why you have different varieties readily available!
@@Namelymarly Yes…online, Amazon, Walmart etc.
Maybe you can make face mask also
This is a great idea! Using natural ingredients to achieve the glow is so inspiring! I may have to work on a "recipe" for this. 🌺
You don't have to have such a long introduction
Thanks for your feedback. I'm always striving to improve and I appreciate you taking the time to let me know.
I don't eat plants
Well, I appreciate you watching the video! Maybe you can grind chia seeds for your friends and family who do eat plants! 🌱
