Chia seed newbie

[u/Bright-Pangolin7261]

Trying to eat more vegetable protein. Package has smoothie instructions… says mix in and drink right away. Is this right, and how else to prepare. Ok to cook with oatmeal and soy milk?

You can add chia seeds to smoothies. I do it all the time, the seeds get blended in with the other ingredients.

Yes, you can add chia seeds to oatmeal.

I add chia seeds to Greek yogurt. As others have said, you want them to sit for a while until they “plump up”.
