Just curious, but why do you and most other’s who post VOO recipes use chia seeds? I make overnight oats, but never use the chia seeds and it turnes out great, so I was just wondering what the purpose of the chia is… especially since it is sooo high in calories for such a tiny portion.

It makes it gel like. And it’s good calories!
