Can you mix cottage cheese with chia seeds?

Absolutely. They work beautifully together. The chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken the cottage cheese into a creamy pudding. Whether you blend it or stir it, this combo makes a healthy, delicious meal.

Is chia pudding okay for weight loss?

Yes. Especially this no-sugar version—it’s high in fiber and protein, which helps control appetite and reduce snacking. Combined with cottage cheese, it becomes a low-calorie, satisfying option perfect for weight loss.

What should you not mix with chia seeds?

Avoid sugary juices or anything carbonated. Chia seeds are best with milk or water-based liquids. Also, don’t eat them dry—they need to soak to avoid digestive discomfort.

Is it okay to eat chia pudding every day?

Definitely. I eat this cottage cheese chia pudding almost daily. Just stay hydrated since chia seeds absorb water. Rotate flavors and toppings to keep things balanced and interesting.
