Kind of!

If you're not familiar, they soak up liquid and become gooey (apparently it's called mucilage.) You can just drink them.

I don't know if this is how it actually works or not, but I feel like the chia seeds moderate the rate at which caffeine enters the body. The result being longer energy and less of a spike.

It also means I can go to a cafe and order a coffee that is secretly also a breakfast. A "life hack", as you will,

EDIT: I want to stress that Aldi or Walmart is the way to go for cheap chia seeds. Something like $4 to $6 for 12oz.
