Spectrum Essentials Chia & Flax Seed, Decadent Blend with Coconut & Cocoa, 12 oz

Great quality Easy to blend and smooth taste. Love Spectrum will buy again.

I purchased Chia Seeds from different other sources, but Amazon has the lowest price. I am very familiar with this brand, Spectrum Essentials. I purchase their coconut oil, flax seeds and oils and I am very happy with the quality. I purchased the Chia seeds to use in our daily smoothies.If you are unfamiliar with Chia seeds, you need to know they have many health benefits such as:- loaded with antioxidants- high in quality protein- high in Omega 3 Fatty Acids (more Omega-3 than salmon!)- high in bone nutrients- large amount of nutrients with very few caloriesBesides smoothies, you can also use Chia seeds to make Chia water (Add 1 tbsp of chia to 4 cups of water, and let it soak for 20 mins.) or Chia pudding (Add 1 tbsp of chia to 6 oz milk - dairy or non-dairy. Add in some honey and leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours. Top your chia pudding with fruits, nuts, oats or anything you like).When eaten dry, Chia seeds taste a bit like poppy seeds. When soaked in liquid they become plump, sweet and soft like tapioca pearls. I store them in a jar and when I open it I notice a very pleasant smell that resembles apples.I have never had any bad experiences with this brand and I highly recommend it.

Expensive but the best chia I’ve ever bought. More slimy than any other brands. I love it!

I put a scoop of this in my smoothies and it adds texture, flavor, and protein. Oh, so good!

as described

I originally bought this product at sprouts market and they no longer carry it. I was very happy to see Amazon had it.

This was my first time trying chia seeds, and I must say I really enjoy them!They have absolutely no flavor. They just add a little crunch to dry food and a crunch with a gel texture and thickening effect to liquids. I feel like I can put them in a ton of different things- smoothies, salads, toast with almond butter and bananas, cereal, yogurt, muffins, etc.,-and I barely notice them. Some people find the gel consistency in liquids unappetizing, but I have no problem with it. Kind of like raspberry seeds in a shake, but softer.I think health-wise, the biggest differences I've seen are decreased appetite because they help me feel fuller, and awesome growth of my nails! I eat about 2 tbsp a day. They don't seem to help me with energy or bowel movements, but I did just have a baby and I'm SUPER sleep deprived. I doubt anything could help right now except an actual full night of sleep!I probably won't reorder this brand, because I found another option on here for a 2 lb bag for not that much more. But if you are thinking of trying chia seeds, I would recommend it!

great
