I've finally discovered the world of chia seeds.  I bought them a while ago and I don't remember why, but they never got used.  Well Ani made a trip to Long Beach the other day and she mentioned chia pudding.  So I had to ask...  how great is this, chia seeds with some water ( I used fresh almond mylk that I just made) and some sweetener.  Ani said use steevia but only had agave at home.  dude it was so good!  The chia seeds get all gelatinous in just seconds!  it was freaking awesome.  I ate all my chia seeds in 2 days and I can't wait to experiment.  maybe adding nuts and berries.  how about cinnamon or banana?

AND  this solves the mystery of my crazy messed up fruit smoothie I had a while back.  I made a normal everyday smoothie with juice, nuts, fruit, and the usual.  But one day it totally solidified into a sponge!  I was totally freaked out.  I must have added chia and not known what to expect!
