You can add this chia and flaxseed blend directly to your food or beverages. For smoothies, simply toss a tablespoon or two into the blender with your other ingredients. When baking, it can be incorporated into muffin batters, cookie doughs, or bread mixtures. It also works well as a topping for cereals, salads, or fruit bowls. For a simple preparation, mix it with water to create a gel-like consistency, which can be used as an egg replacer in some recipes.
