Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Hello! Kefir has great probiotics, and chia seeds have fantastic properties too, including fiber, omega 3, calcium, potassium, etc., and was used by the ancient Aztecs and Mayans to clean infection out of eyes or open wounds. If I soak chia seeds overnight in water (they absorb 9 times their weight in water) do you think they would be a good addition to a morning smoothie, or do you think the antibacterial properties of the chia would negate the health benefits of the kefir? Thank you for your time, Lois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hi Lois, I like to sprinkle chia seeds on top my my kefir smoothie and eat them with a spoon. I don't believe that chia seeds would destroy the beneficial properties of kefir.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Chia seeds are excellent in a smoothy. I wouldn't worry about so-called antibacterial properties.
