yes! chia seeds have tons of nutritional benefits such as high in fiber and help to lower high blood pressure
i would portion it out into individual mason jars (small ones) so that it's easy to grab and already measured out. however, you can store all in one airtight container then scoop what you want each time.
you can add any nuts, nut butter, cinnamon, fresh fruit, dried fruits, cereal and anything your heart desires! sometimes i also pair it with greek yogurt for added protein.
i suggest at least 2-3 hours for the best result but i always prefer to let them soak overnight.
i would keep for up to 5-7 days in the fridge, no longer than a week! perfect for a weekly meal prep wen you know you have a busy week ahead.
