BetterBody Foods Organic Chia Seed Singles, 1.48 Oz, 8 Pack

I have been wanting exactly this type of product for a while. One of my favorite drinks has hydrated Chia seeds in it. I absolutely love the texture of the Chia seeds and the added benefit of the fiber they provide. This drink is difficult to find in my area and pretty pricey. So I have been wanting to get Chia seeds like these so I can make my own drinks. I am happy to say that it works perfectly. These Chia seed pouches by Betterbody Foods are perfect for mixing up a drink with a wonderful texture. Personally, I love putting them in juice, they're amazing in Lemonaid. But they would be even better for a smoothie, which I have yet to try. The box comes with eight 42 gram pouches. So far, I have typically been making 16 ounce drinks when I add the Chia seeds to them. Although, I believe that 42 grams is a bit too much for a 16 ounce glass of juice. However, the nature of the Chia seeds means you can just seal up the pouch as best you can, or add them to a sandwich bag, and put them away for next time. The drink I like has hydrated Chia seeds in it. If you're planning to quickly mix up a drink, you're not going to get the hydrated Chia seeds. If you want to have a drink with hydrated chia seeds, you will have to prepare it in advance and let it sit in the refrigerator for a couple hours. After 2 or 3 hours the seeds will have absorbed enough moisture that they're no longer dry anymore. They will appear to have an almost protective coating on them that makes them slippery and enjoyable to have in your drink. The only issue I have had is getting to the nutrition facts on the back of the pouches is a bit difficult. The way the pouches are made, the flap on the back is blocking the nutrition facts and is challenging to pick free and move so you can read them. I was also a bit surprised to find that these have 17% daily value of fat in each pouch. However, they are very rich in fiber and also have 20% daily value of calcium and iron. Due to having drinks in the past that contained Chia seeds, I can say with certainty that the fiber they contain is enough that it is effective for your diet. I love these, aside from the pouches themselves, I have no complaints, 5 stars.

These little singles packs of Chia are very convenient, especially when I am on the go and away from home! I bring them in my snack bag and sprinkle some in my yogurt and salads. I also love to blend it in my morning protein fruit smoothie. I add it to as many foods and drinks as possible because it provides essential nutrition. It has a neutral taste. It's organic and high in omega-3 and fiber. The box brings 8 packets. One packet goes a long way- 8 servings in 1 packet. It's definitely a good buy. Highly recommend it!
