Description

A simple chia seed water recipe with lemon for weight loss and hydration. The fiber-rich gel keeps you full for hours.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 12 oz cold water
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add chia seeds to a glass or jar with cold water.
  2. Stir vigorously for 30 seconds to prevent clumping.
  3. Let sit for 10-15 minutes until seeds form a gel.
  4. Stir again, then add lemon juice and honey.
  5. Add mint leaves if desired and drink.

Notes

Always soak chia seeds before consuming — dry chia seeds can be a choking hazard as they absorb liquid and expand. For best results, drink 30 minutes before meals. Can be prepared the night before.
