With a big bag of chia seeds in our pantry, and a dislike for the textures of chia seed pudding, I decided to try blending chia seeds for consumption instead. It worked!
Upon consulting the internet, I decided the best approach would be a simple chia seed smoothie.
I would made a 1-to-4 chia to oat/almond milk pudding, put in the fridge overnight or for a few days, and then blend the pudding with frozen fruit and more non-dairy milk for a breakfast smoothie.
Even with my non-Vitamix blender, the chia chunks smoothed out and the result was a yogurt-like smoothie. The fruit flavor remained the star attraction, and no additional sugars were needed.
I am now separately on the fence about blending fruit for smoothies because eating whole fruit is much healthier, but at least I have temporarily solved what to do with our chia seeds!
