Step by step recipe with photo

Chia gel is a base ingredient made from chia seeds, which is then added to desserts, sauces, baked goods, cereals, salads, or wherever. The point is that chia seeds thickened in water can replace eggs in baked goods, add density to juices, milk and other drinks, and added to mayonnaise and ketchup allows you to reduce their amount, while not changing the taste.

In addition, they write about chia seeds that they are sources of omega 3 and 6 fats, as well as an alternative to animal proteins. For weight loss, the point of the product is that adding hya increases volume and at the same time reduces calories. For example, a small amount of sweet yogurt can be converted in a larger amount of pudding.

I love trying new things, so I tried chia too. I will show you the basic chia gel first, and then the drink - a cocktail of fruits with chia and another option for using dry chia seeds to sprinkle a salad.

Measure out the correct amount of chia seeds to make a basic chia gel.

Slowly or gradually, while stirring, pour water at room temperature. Take artesian or filtered water, and not from the tap …

Stir and let sit for half an hour, then stir the thickened mass again.

Chia gel is ready.

Chia gel can be stored unopened (in a jar or container) in the refrigerator for two weeks and can be used for all kinds of food: drinks, desserts, cereals, salads, snacks, sauces.

Be healthy!
