Remember Chia Pets? Turns out their chia seeds are now considered one of the top superfoods in the world. They are an excellent source of fiber, protein, and many important minerals. Chia seeds don't have much of a taste either, so you can sprinkle them on top of all of your favorite foods (even ice cream). But if you're looking for some cool recipes with chia as the star ingredient, here are 11 ways to eat chia seeds every day.

Of course this toasty trend has taken Instagram by storm. However, some people forget that chia seeds can be sprinkled on top of anything. Add them to your avocado toast to make it even healthier. 

9. Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seed pudding is usually a hit or a miss because of its caviar-like texture and rather interesting appearance. However, sometimes adding your favorite fruits and other toppings can really change the game. This particular recipe tastes like an Orange Creamsicle.

10. No-Bake Chia Seed Truffles

If you're really craving Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, these chia seed truffles are a healthier alternative. They have the classic PB and chocolate combo, but the chia seeds give them some extra omega-3s.

Add the power of chia seeds to your breakfast, lunches, dinners, and snacks, and increase the fiber in your diet with little to no effort. Your chia pets will be proud.
