I have been a vegetarian most of my life, and have been enjoying the health benefits of chia seeds for years. As a vegetarian, I like whole foods sources of nutrition, and chia seeds have antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. The use of chia seeds for nutrition dates back thousands of years and is considered a superfood.
This drink is wonderful for both your health and hydration, and is an easy way to enjoy the benefits of chia seeds.
Ingredients
~ 2 cups water
~ 1 tablespoon chia seeds
~ 1/2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
~ optional: sweetener, to taste
Directions
Combine ingredients in a glass or jar.
You’ll want to mix the ingredients frequently until the chia seeds have absorbed enough liquid.
I like to use a mason jar with a lid so you can shake it.
The chia seeds will naturally clump together if not stirred.

February 29, 2024I am glad to learn this new chia seed drink recipe. Years ago, I would only mix chia seeds with water and drink the mixture after a few minutes. After reading this recipe that includes lemon/lime juice and sweetener, I realize there are more enjoyable ways to consume chia seeds. I look forward to trying out this tastier chia seed beverage.
