Oatmeal is a versatile breakfast option that can be customized with chia seeds. A half cup of rolled oats contains about 4 grams of fiber, while chia seeds add around 10 grams per ounce. They are also rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Chia seeds absorb liquid, creating a gel-like texture that improves the consistency of oatmeal. They can be added during cooking or soaked beforehand for better digestion and texture enhancement.
