LOL...I tried it in water last night (read somewhere later that it's 1/3 cup per 2 c. water??!!) with a lemon. We had friends over, and they laughed saying they looked like little tadpole eggs!
The taste/texture didn't bother me though, although I'm not sure I'll do it again. I think I'll stick to smoothies, etc.
Had some in my Crystal Lite Lemonade & other than trying to slosh them back down after they stuck to the sides of my glass and using a straw to suck them up, they were great! Felt quite satisfied afterwords.
Oh and Mel....I just love Harris Teeter. My sister has one in NC and I just drool in that store. My brother in law went to a super HT once and called it the "Taj Ma Teeter". Lucky you!!!! I have to drive to either New Orleans or Baton Rouge to Whole Foods to get special stuff.

Taj Ma Teeter, I love that!!!! lol!!
They have the most vast selections of things I've never tried before.. it's awesome! I haven't been there yet like I wanted to, to find the seeds, but soon I hope to make a visit there and see if they have any. Maybe I'll find another cool discovery in there too.
I tried the chia last night and really liked it, but I like bubble tea and things with textures like that. I just had it in some "sassy water" and felt very healthy. This morning things "moved" very well event though I hadn't taken my usual psyllium last night, so I'm imagining chia performs the same function. I'll continue to use it, I really liked it, and maybe I'll get my husband to try it out.
So, I have been wanting to try these for a while but didn't want to pay 20 bucks at WF and everywhere I found online had decent prices but the shipping ended up doubling it...
I found some on Amazon Nutiva Organic Chia seed 14oz for 7.95 and free shipping... Just in case any of you were in the same boat as me
i've been mixing them with iced tea or lemon water every afternoon. refreshing and very hydrating! they keep me satisfied until dinner and cures that need to snack come 3:00

Eek, I got the same brand 3 lb bag for $18.95 just a few weeks ago but it's out of stock now. It was from an Amazon seller but with free shipping. We are definitely going through our bag so I hope they have it again at that price. I can get it at the Co-op for $8/lb which may end up being the best price.
I just got my chia in and LOVE it! Won't be able to comment on the hunger thing for a bit because I am about to eat dinner, but I just had to try the chia as soon as I got it!
Mine sank too- just stirred it before each sip with a straw, had mine in lemon water! I really like it! Although, I don't have a texture problem with much other than lima beans and peas...
And Cyndi- I have the same problem... cha cha cha chia!
Sometimes I'm a little slow, so I just tried this today. 1 T in 1/2 c FF plain yogurt. I love it, too! I swear it really does satisfy me better than just the yogurt alone! I was suprised-my little health food store had it right alongside the flax seeds/oils.
I had pumpkin pudding for breakfast today - Greek yogurt, homemade pumpkin butter and chia. I mix it up the night before so it's super thick. One serving was actually breakfast and a morning snack.
