Refreshing Chia-Lemon Wellness Drink

A simple, hydrating, and fiber-rich tonic

1 tbsp Chia Seeds: A powerhouse of fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids.
300 ml Water: About 1 ¼ cups.
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice: For a boost of Vitamin C and bright flavor.
Optional: A drop of stevia or monk fruit sweetener (to keep your “no-sweet” streak alive).
Optional: A tiny pinch of salt to help with electrolyte balance.

Bloom the Seeds: Add the 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to a glass or jar. Pour in about 50 ml of the water first and stir well. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes. This allows the seeds to absorb liquid and form a gel-like coating, which makes them easier to digest.
Combine: Pour in the remaining 250 ml of water.
Add Flavor: Stir in the fresh lemon juice, your sweetener of choice, and the pinch of salt if you’re using it.
The Final Mix: Stir or shake the container vigorously to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped at the bottom.
Enjoy: You can drink it immediately, or let it chill in the fridge for another 30 minutes for a thicker, more “gel” like consistency.

High Satiety: Chia seeds can absorb up to 10–12 times their weight in water, which helps you feel fuller for longer.
Blood Sugar Support: The fiber in chia seeds helps slow down the absorption of sugar, which supports your goal of avoiding energy spikes and crashes.
Heart Health: The healthy fats and fiber are known to support general cardiovascular wellness.
