Notes

  • Soak chia seeds for at least 20 minutes before drinking.
  • For meal prep, prepare the night before and refrigerate overnight.
  • If the mixture becomes too thick, add additional water before serving.
  • Chia seed water is not a magic weight loss drink but may support fullness and hydration as part of a healthy lifestyle.
