    I would love to have the chance to finally try these!

    I haven’t quite figured out how to make a good chia pudding, but I like adding chia seeds to my “fudge babies” giving them a lovely crunch.

    I have been trying to find ways to put extra calcium and nutrients into my diet for 2 reasons. 1)dairy makes me break out, so I drink less milk and “try” to stay away from chocolate 2)multivitamins make me feel less than awesome while they’re digesting away, so even though I know I should take them, I don’t to the dismay of my bf who wants to spend our lives together as healthy as possible. The chia seeds sound right up my alley and I would appreciate a trial run before I stock up from the website.

    Thanks for all of your tips and tricks!

    I put them in plain yogurt to make a pudding.

  6. Natalie on February 12, 2010 at 11:45 am

    I like putting them in oatmeal, breakfast cookies and sprinkle them on salads. Good stuff.

  7. Kaitlin on February 12, 2010 at 11:46 am

    I’ve never had chia seeds, but I would definitely put them in my oatmeal.

  8. Allison (Eat Clean Live Green) on February 12, 2010 at 11:49 am

    I *would* love them in my oats and bfast cookies. I typically use flax but am very interested in trying something new!

  11. Sunni Campbell on February 12, 2010 at 11:52 am

    I have been wanting to try chia seeds for awhile now. i am a newbie(by about two months) to your blog and everytime i see you post something about chia seeds, i am always so intrigued. I also must say that reading your blog has really inspired me to try and eat healthier. So thanks!

  12. Rose on February 12, 2010 at 11:57 am

    I LOVE using them in Green Monster smoothies! Mine contain spinach, soy milk, a banana, blueberries, and chia seeds of course!

  13. Jodie on February 12, 2010 at 12:03 pm

    I have never used the black chia seeds before, would add it to muffin mix, morning oatmeal as well as brekfast cookie.

  14. Lily on February 12, 2010 at 12:09 pm

  15. sonia on February 12, 2010 at 12:15 pm

  16. Brittany on February 12, 2010 at 12:17 pm

    Long time lurker here, I love your blog! I’ve been so inspired by you! You constantly keep me motivated in the gym, I used to weight over 200 lbs but your blog helped me change that!! I’m not where I want to be yet (not going by a number on the scale, more of a clothes thing) and chia seeds sound fantastic!! Definitely smoothie making material!

    • Fitnessista on February 12, 2010 at 3:48 pm

      i’m proud of you, mami ๐Ÿ™‚

  17. Karie on February 12, 2010 at 12:18 pm

    I have never tried them, but would add them to smoothies, oatmeal, cookies…I’m sure I could find many uses for them.

  18. Brittany on February 12, 2010 at 12:19 pm

    Arg by weight I mean **weigh, WAY to go self! lol ๐Ÿ™‚ Chia seeds distracted me from properly editing my post!!! hehehe!

  19. Gina on February 12, 2010 at 12:21 pm

    Yay!!! I love chia seeds and it would be great to get some for free =D
    I make chia pudding with almond milk for breakfast often (like this morning! Yum)

  20. Beth on February 12, 2010 at 12:22 pm

    I would love to try Chia seeds & I would make Fitnessista Chia pudding. ๐Ÿ™‚

  21. Kristin on February 12, 2010 at 12:27 pm

    I tried to make chia pudding once and it didn’t workout so good. I’d love to give it another try. I’d also like to try and make “ice cream” with them as well as put them in my smoothies.

  22. Grace on February 12, 2010 at 12:27 pm

    I would love to try some chia in my morning oats ๐Ÿ™‚ As a poor college student a freebie would be awfully nice!

  23. Ariela on February 12, 2010 at 12:28 pm

    My fave chia dish is adding them to a green smoothie, poppin’ it in the fridge for 10 mins, then eating the sludgy goodness!

    Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

  24. Cindy on February 12, 2010 at 12:30 pm

    I have been reading your blog for a few weeks and just starting doing the Winter Warmup workout. I am loving it btw. I have never tried Chia seeds but would love to add them to my continually growing repertoire of healthy supplements. The list keeps getting longer thanks to your posts. I think I would try them in just about anything, including my am oats, my apres workout smoothie or some yummy baked goods. Bring on the Chia! Thanks for the op!

  25. Emily on February 12, 2010 at 12:31 pm

    I think I’d probably end up putting chia seeds in everything. I love their crunch. ๐Ÿ™‚

  26. Kate on February 12, 2010 at 12:31 pm

    I have been dying to try these! I would use them in CHIA PUDDING!

  27. Amanda on February 12, 2010 at 12:33 pm

    I too use them all the time in everything… I would love a huge supply of 2 pounds! Thanks for the give away.

    My favorite is putting them in my oatmeal for breakfast.

  28. samantha on February 12, 2010 at 12:34 pm

    I would use chia seeds for overnight oats to make them extra thick and creamy…mmmm.

  29. Tiffany B on February 12, 2010 at 12:34 pm

    I like using them in my oatmeal and smoothies. Thanks!

  30. Beth on February 12, 2010 at 12:36 pm

    I’ve been dying to try chia seeds and will definitely incorporate them into my oatmeal, green monsters and salad dressings!

  31. adriana on February 12, 2010 at 12:36 pm

    I would continue to use chia seeds in my oats!

  32. cait on February 12, 2010 at 12:39 pm

  36. kt F on February 12, 2010 at 12:55 pm

    I’ve never had chia seeds! I think I’d put them in smoothies, and probably make chia pudding.

  37. Erica on February 12, 2010 at 12:58 pm

    Very cool! I want to win me some chia!! I have yet to try them, but would use them in oatmeal, pudding, and whatever else I could ๐Ÿ˜‰

  38. Heather on February 12, 2010 at 1:07 pm

    I use them for Chia seed pudding and my oats!! Yumm!!

  39. Shana on February 12, 2010 at 1:07 pm

    I have been wanting to try Chia seeds in my morning oats and my smoothies! I’m sure once I get started, I will find many other places to include them, too.

  40. Ellie on February 12, 2010 at 1:10 pm

    I love them in pudding with coconut milk and cinnamon!

  41. Noelle on February 12, 2010 at 1:11 pm

    I wanna try these! I can’t believe I keep forgetting to pick them up…

  42. Rhea on February 12, 2010 at 1:14 pm

    I would love to try a chia seed pudding! Ch-ch-ch-chia!

  43. Meryl on February 12, 2010 at 1:17 pm

    my husband totally makes fun of me for this, but that’s ok! I use chia seeds in my chocolate wheat grass milk and it totally reminds me bubble tea after the seeds have hydrated for awhile. I actually enjoy drinking wheat grass now ๐Ÿ™‚

  44. hemp jogger on February 12, 2010 at 1:18 pm

    have been dying to try these little babies! definitely in my morning oats. i never go a day w/o them, and they gotta barrel through the entire morning of seeing patients. add a little nutrition and fun to the bowl.

  45. LC @ Let Them Eat Lentils on February 12, 2010 at 1:20 pm

    I just want to try them in my smoothies! They never “stick with me” and I’m hoping the chia seeds will keep me full longer.

  46. Tamara on February 12, 2010 at 1:28 pm

    I would love to substitute chia for flax seeds!

  47. Beth on February 12, 2010 at 1:34 pm

    I think chia seeds are my favorite as an oatmeal topper!

  48. Kelly on February 12, 2010 at 1:35 pm

    What wouldn’t I try them in? I have never used chia seeds, but have read all about them on your site. I think my first use would be in smoothies, and then I would branch out and try more foods with chia seeds as the base – your chia pudding looks great.

    Thanks!

  49. Emma on February 12, 2010 at 1:35 pm

    Yum. I’m not sure what I’d use them for, but it looks like there are plenty suggestions to work from in this thread!

  50. Michelle in Alaska on February 12, 2010 at 1:37 pm

    I would LOVE to try chia seeds!!
