Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- Add chia seeds to a glass or jar with cold water.

- Let sit for 10-15 minutes until seeds form a gel.
- Stir again, then add lemon juice and honey.

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.
