This makes a very satisfying, tasty and nutritious breakfast. The egg/chia mixture has a consistency similar to couscous when cooked.
Whisk the egg and milk and soak the chia seeds in the mixture for 15 minutes
Add the egg/chia seed/ milk mixture to the pan and stir until set.
Add the baby spinach leaves and stir the mixture until leaves are slightly wilted.
Can we take Chia seeds without mixing any thing if yes then what time it should be taken ?
Yes you can eat chia seeds raw, without adding anything to them. Some people like them this way. Personally I don’t like eating them like this because they start to form a gel in your mouth by absorbing your saliva by the time you have finished chewing them and this leaves a dry feeling in your mouth. Be sure to follow up with a drink of water otherwise you could develop constipation. Chia seeds are a healthy food and you can eat them any time you want, unless you are dieting, in which case its best before meals.
I’vejust received an order of ‘chia seed’, but it is not specified whether they are whilte, black or brown. They appear to be brown with light or white ones mixed in them. How can I tell whether they are quality seeds?
I have used a mixture of white and black seeds, but be wary of a mix that has brown seeds in as they could be immature or inferior seeds Cuca. When I want to lose weight, I have a hearty breakfast with a Tablespoon of chia seeds included (such as the hearty chia breakfast eggs) then before each remaining meal have 1Tablespoon of seeds in water. Sometimes I incorporate the tablespoon of chia seeds in my meal (such as in soup) 3 to 4 Tablespoons of chia seeds per day is recommended for weight loss. This is laid out in detail in my book, The chia seed weight loss diet.
How much per recipe should I use of the chia seeds? Can too much be used? Can I add chia seeds to all that I eat in a day?
Chia seeds are classed as a food by the FDA and no llimits have been set Nancy. You can add chia seeds to all you eat in a day if you wish. Most of my recipes use half to one tablespoon of chia seeds per serve. I like to have one to two tablespoons of chia per day, more – 3 to 4 Tablespoons when I was using chia for weight loss.
I’m so glad I have found this site I have just heard about these chia seeds from a co worker and I found these at my grocery store on Friday made some of the gel I am going to make these eggs for breakfast today and hope to reap the benefits of this wonderful little seed. Will also try some of the other recipes.
Just made this for lunch, it was delicious! I also added some diced red pepper and raw cheddar cheese then topped with fresh cilantro. What a creative and healthy meal!
