1. Place the chia seeds in the water (either warm or cold, whichever you prefer).

2. Stir, stir, stir!

3. Let the concoction sit in the fridge for 10 minutes and it will form a “pudding-like” consistency.

I just started using them yesterday and kinda like the crunch they add to my yogurt.

I was thinking about using them in the low carb peanut butter cookies I bake but I'm unsure if I should add them dry or gellied like eggs... Thoughts? I also was going to try a low carb almond bread recipe I found on line and wonder I they would be like poppy seeds if I add them - again not sure about how to add them tho.

I add them dry. You can also grind them like with fax seeds.  i use them ground in my protein pancakes. Same with flax meal. I grind just enough for what I need in magic bullet - small cup.

You can also grind them. Then they will soak the water - liquid faster.  And the consistency will be different.

I just dump a spoonful in my mouth, drink water to wash them down, then repeat 3 or 4 times.  It should eventually help if you have loose stools.  I've been using them for 4.5 yrs on and off, when I have a problem I take them.  I should start taking them daily.
