Chia Jello
This is a simple yet delicious recipe from the raw food kitchen, featuring one of the most popular uses of chia seeds, a superfood easily available at health stores and online.
Try replacing the fruit juice with plant-based milk to create a light, delicious chia pudding.
I tested this recipe at a workshop, and it was met with great success, impressing all attendees with this unique jelly.
The firmness of the jelly depends on both the quantity of chia seeds you add to the juice and the time allowed for the seeds to swell. Adjust these to control the gelling effect.

Step by step
Step 1
These are the chia seeds available at local health stores.
Step 2
In a bowl, pour the juice or milk and add the chia seeds.
Step 3
Stir, then allow it to sit and swell for about 30-60 minutes.
Step 4
The result will be a runnier jelly, not as firm as traditional gelatine jelly.
Sometimes, I make it more liquid so it can be enjoyed as a drink.
Step 5
Pour the jelly into serving glasses, and refrigerate for a few hours if desired.
Step 6
Chia seeds are neutral in flavor and aroma, absorbing the taste of the liquid they are mixed with.
They are excellent to have on hand, particularly for vegetarians, those observing a fast, or anyone focused on health and dietary variety.
Enjoy your meal!
