Haha. We call the bird feeder outside our kitchen window, "Kitty Cable."

Use them to make a Greek yogurt pudding.

They have no taste, and can thicken any liquid. I love them.


Not OP but what are "overnight oats" and do you have a recipe?


Google "yummy life overnight oats" and you will find her recipe. It is basically Greek yogurt, old fashioned oats, chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup (to sweeten), and anything you want to put in them.

I have made peach Melba, bananas foster, strawberry cheesecake, s'mores, etc. The options are endless.

Grind them. And use the powder in your smoothies. Best power packed carbs ever. You can include them to go to a low glycemic diet.

Yes. Grow them on a wet terracotta plate. Keep it wet. Use the shoots to make green smoothies.

My DH puts it in his oatmeal every morning. I can't say I'm a fan. And I can't vouch for this recipe, but according to Pinterest, chia pudding is popular: http://fuelingenduranceperformance.com/mano-strawberry-recovery-chia-pudding/

If you have cats, throw some into the garden so that the cats can watch the birds eat them. A friend calls this "Kitty TV" and my cat loves it.

I mixed some into yogurt along with granola - didn't notice anything weird but then again, I'm most likely older than your kids.

You can sprinkle them into a salad, as they are . Or they can be sprouted and used.
There are also recipes for chia pudding, crackers etc if you want to venture into those.

I bought a big bag and need some ideas. Naturally the kids will ask about the black spots
