İs maple syrup that important cant we use honey instead?
Be careful using Chia seeds. Too much of it without enough water can get stuck in your gut and cause blockage. Remember that when wet it is sticky slimy and does not move along easily.
Thank you for modeling. I cannot wait to try this.
He talks abojt soaking them 10 minutes out of the fridge. My house is 78°F and they took over 30 just to start to bloom.
Yum!! Thank you for the delicious recipes!❤
How long does Chia seed pudding hold up if you pre-make it ?
for the mango coconut, he didnt use the coconut milk?
Just what I was looking for. Thanks so much.
Super helpful 🎉
Can I make the base recipe with water then put large serving of greek yogurt as topping
£55 for 6 jars….that's over 74$ USD …are people okay? 😂😂😂
Honestly, listening to you and seeing the presentation, they all look very appetizing, although my favorites are the "autumnal" ones… Your patience is appreciated. But, as a doctor, and seeing the number of cases… Given the risk of poisoning and serious problems caused by excessive consumption of chia seeds, I must warn that it is recommended not to exceed 10 grams of chia per serving.Chia seeds should be washed thoroughly with water, ideally soaked in water (no other liquid) overnight, and then prepared in the cups in the morning. However, as preparations become increasingly complex, Soak the chia seeds in water in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Then prepare the little cups; they should be liquid! This is the most dangerous mistake you make. To make it look nice, you leave the chia seeds dry or in a pudding-like consistency.And that's fatal! It should always remain liquid! Add fruit, yogurt, etc. But keep it liquid! It should never be consumed daily! Our digestive system isn't designed to digest it properly. Those types of seeds. We don't even have gastric juices to help break them down.As with raw vegetables and sprouts, three times a week is more than enough. There are very healthy, protein-rich options that are great for breakfast, a snack, or a treat that won't make you gain weight. People arrive at the hospital with cramps, involuntary movements, and excruciating stomach and abdominal pain. And kidney problems. When they tell us they've been eating for months or years of Chia seeds and the way they prepare it makes it easy to guess that the intense pain is because they haven't been to the bathroom in a long time and the constipation is chronic. And they have their most important organs damaged. This is not an exaggeration or a joke. Just read a medical journal. I take Oats and chia seeds. But done right. I take advantage of the good things. And I avoid falling into the same traps you're making because they're very dangerous for your health. And I hope you take this seriously. I wouldn't want to see any more people in my operating room because they're too stubborn…
Thank you for these recipes, it’s just what I needed.
God loves you. I hope your pillow is cold tonight. Or warm depending on your preference.
Could we maybe get recipes without vanilla? SO burnt out.
Use crystalized monk fruit as a sweetner! Can be used in 1:1 ratio like cane sugar. HAS ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT ON BLOOD GLUCOSE! Perfect for diabetics!
Can I use coconut cream?
Looks good! Would love to try his recipe but I am not the one that can “eyeball” ingredients and nothing in description, hopefully bookings coming or at least a ebook to download
Why use a cinnamon stick instead of cinnamon?
I always use coconut milk , its more tasty …. Salam from Calgary

Can I use full cream dairy milk if almond or coconut milk is not available?

Variety is the spice of life!😁

Chia seeds, frozen berries and low fat yoghurt 😊
Oh my gosh this was the best explanation for chia seed pudding. I love that you started with the base recipe, SO HELPFUL!!
I see chia seeds and think…”I bet those taste like the tomato seeds. A hard center surrounded by a slimy gelatinous coating that doesn’t have any flavor but makes you want to spit it out.” I personally remove all tomato seeds when I use tomatoes for anything, and strawberries small seeds sometimes turn me off too. But do Chia seeds really fit into either of these “texture” frames?? Or are they more like Bobba in Milk tea? Can anyone describe what they think Chia seeds are similar to?? I’m very curious!! 🤔
