In reply to Louisa N Morton. Hi Louisa, yep! Really any water-based liquid would work … milk, water, coconut milk, fruit juice, etc. The chia absorbs the water, swells and thickens. A personal favorite of mine is macadamia milk. A local store carries it. Delicious! I hope this helps!

my granddaughter cannot have almonds or almond milk. Can Coconut milk be used instead?

Mimi … yep. I meant "mash". It’s a typo. Whoops! My site is full of them, sad to say … Sorry for the confusion!

what do you like to o to your berries? The recipe is missing a word. I look forward to trying this. Like you I have a bag of chia seeds just sitting there because I haven’t really found a good use for them that I like.

Fantastic, dgidaho!! The core of the recipe is really 1 tbsp of chia seed to 1/4 cup of liquid. The rest is really up to you! You can add sweeteners, use a variety of different liquids, spices, nuts, berries, etc. With a very simple and basic formula, you can branch it out into a myriad of directions. I eat Chia regularly, now. I love it!

I just had to comment on this. Never tried chia seeds before, but because of this recipe posting, and my subsequent research on the health benefits, I decided to give it a try. I had to make a couple of alterations to the recipe based on my existing pantry items, but this is definitely a winner! I’ll use this recipe on a regular basis, and look for more ways to use chia seeds. Thanks for "taking one for the team" in such a delicious way– 🙂

Hi Jason. I suppose that statement is “missing something”. My point is … use the orange oil IN PLACE of the orange juice. You get a very nice orange flavor, but without the carbs. Sorry about that. When I typed it, I assumed the replacement aspect of it was implied, but … I suppose it wasn’t. Sorry! I hope that makes sense! :-/

What did you mean when you said, “put a few drops of orange oil into it. This drops the carbs by about 3 or 4, while still giving me a very similar taste sensation”? We all know that you can’t get rid of carbohydrates in food like that; I mean matter isn’t just destroyed into thin air because of orange oil. I really appreciate the recipe as I have a fianc? who suffers from egg allergy and have been struggling with finding new recipes for her specifically for breakfast. However, I need to make sure that the recipes I am getting from bloggers are accurate, so if this was just a simple mistake I am willing to accept that.
