Ok this seems like an easy enough one. I've only relatively recently discovered that you can use flax seeds as a way to substitute for eggs while baking in order to make something vegan. They were a bit of a pain in the butt though, as I had to figure out how to grind up my flax seeds without a grinder and also while preventing them from turning rancid. I'll give you a hint, chopping doesn't work well.
I don't have much knowledge of or experience in using hemp seeds, though I guess they are also becoming more common as I'm starting to see them in the stores. But man are they expensive!
I think I'll stick with chia seeds.. not as pricey as hemp, and you don't have to grind them up the way you do flax. I found this helpful table online to use as as quick comparison, though another google search suggested some slightly different numbers. Either way, chia seeds are a fair source of supplemental protein and omega-3s, a good source of fiber, and relatively low in calories. And all you have to do is sprinkle them on your oatmeal.
