Description

This refreshing chia seed drink is packed with fiber, omega-3s, and hydration-boosting nutrients. Perfect for a quick energy boost, digestion support, or a light, healthy beverage. Customize it with citrus, coconut water, or natural sweeteners for extra flavor!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups water (or coconut water for extra electrolytes)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chia seeds
  • Juice of 1 lemon or lime
  • 1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup, or agave (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  • In a tall glass or jar, combine the chia seeds and water. Stir well to distribute the seeds evenly.
  • Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  • Add lemon or lime juice and sweetener, stirring to mix.
  • Let the chia seeds soak for 10-15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for a thicker texture).
  • Stir once more before serving. Add ice cubes and fresh mint leaves for extra refreshment.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, blend the drink for a few seconds.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days, shaking before drinking.
