Chia seed gel is full of nutrients like brain-food omega 3 essential fatty acids, protein (20 percent of the seed), calcium, phosphorus, and fiber. Your baking and raw vegan recipes will contain much less fat than usual recipes. If you use all plant-based, whole foods, your recipes will contain NO cholesterol. A good idea is to have some water based chia gel on hand in the fridge to add as an egg substitute to cakes or cookies, one tablespoon of gel replaces one egg. Prepared chia gel will keep for up to 2 weeks. Of course, my FAVORITE WAY is in SMOOTHIES!!
