chia gel
*1 tablespoon chia seeds
3 tablespoons water
In
a small bowl or jar combine the chia seeds and water. Give it a little stir,
and let it sit at room temp for about 10 minutes until the chia seeds have
gelled.
This makes 1/4 cup serving. Use chia gel as a low-fat, low-calories healthy egg or oil substitute.

You
can also use chia gel with a bit of juice or a spritz of lemon to create a
quick snack packed with protein, calcium, dietary fiber and omega-3. Or add chia gel to your morning juices or
smoothies. I know it sounds a little strange, but it’s not bad…even my 5 year-old drinks it :-)
