Mix 1 part seed to 9 parts water. Allow to stand 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk again, and allow to stand about 10 minutes more. A gel should have formed. Store in the fridge where it will keep for 2 weeks.
The gel will add nutrients to your food, without changing/diluting the taste of your food. Add a couple teaspoons of the gel to your yogurt in the morning, which makes it tapioca pudding-like. Or make a Power Smoothie by adding a Tablespoon to your favorite Shake/Smoothie recipe.
Mommy will make this and add it to our smoothies. It is a great way to boost the nutritional value without effecting the taste. Chia is very high in iron and Mommy consumes a lot of chia seed gel when she is pregnant.
Love Always,
Mommy
