I love how all the bases get covered here!

Thanks for the tip, Shawn.  You probably saved me some of those funny looks.

What benefits do you see from Chia seeds?

They have many benefits Amber....among which include hydration, feeling of being full, packed full of omegas, fiber etc..... here is a quick link talking about them:  http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/03/15/benefits-chia-seeds/ .  I'm sure you can find a lot more info out there as well as recipes to use them in.  

I just like them for what they do in recipes.  The rest is icing on the cake so to speak  ;)    One of my favorite puddings has always been tapioca, and of course we can't have that on a low carb diet....these give that back to me  ;D  The best benefit is that they keep me full

This is a great post! Love all these new recipes and ideas. Plus you all have me laughing all the time!

About 5 years ago when I was on the Atkins diet I came up with a replacement for one of my favorite hot cereals, Cocowheats. I named it after my online name (BlueJeanz) so I'm sharing it here and you can feel free to share or make adjustments.
--------------

BJs Faux Cocowheats (or Fauxcowheats)

In a bowl put:

1 T. Flax meal
1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder (I use Designer Whey)
3 T. walnut meal (finely ground walnuts, you can do this in the Coffee Grinder)
1 tsp cocoa powder
1 pkt Splenda or 2 drops Zero
//(
Slowly add 1/4 cup boiling water (more or less) while stirring. Let set for a minute and stir again.

You can top with cream and more Splenda if needed. Mmmmm.
"Do something today that your future self will thank you for."
