CHIA GEL
Add 1/3 cup chia seeds to 2 cups water (filtered). That is, use 2 cups water for every 1/3 cup chia seeds. This makes a 9:1 ratio (water to seed), which is an ideal ratio for a basic chia gel. You can experiment with using more or less water, depending on your preference, or the consistency of the food item to which you’re adding it.
Add this mixture up to equal parts by weight to sauces, drinks, yogurt, salad dressings, cream cheese (or cream cheese substitutes), jams, jellies, preserves, salsa, hot/cold cereals, yogurt, dips, puddings, soups, or other liquid or creamy foods. The gel won’t affect flavor, but definitely increases nutritional value
