Chia Water
Refreshing Chia Seed Drink with raspberries, lemon, and raw honey. This gut-healthy beverage supports digestion, hydration, and natural weight management.
Equipment
- Glass jar with lid
- Muddler or fork
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 4-5 pieces fresh red raspberries or frozen, thawed
- 1 teaspoon raw honey manuka preferred
- ½ whole fresh lemon juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds black or white
- 1 ½ cups cool filtered water
- as needed ice cubes for serving
- 1 sprig fresh mint for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Add raspberries, raw honey, and fresh lemon juice to a clean glass jar. Mash thoroughly with a muddler or fork until berries break down completely and combine with honey and lemon.
- Add chia seeds to the jar, then pour in cool filtered water. Stir vigorously for 30 seconds to prevent clumping.
- Let rest for 1 minute, then stir again, scraping the bottom of the jar. Repeat this process one more time after another minute to ensure even hydration.
- Secure the lid tightly and shake well. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for best results.
- Stir once more before drinking. Add ice cubes if desired and garnish with fresh mint and extra raspberries.
Notes
- Stir frequently during the first few minutes to prevent clumping
- Overnight soaking produces the best texture and flavor
- Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days in sealed glass jars
- Add more water if drink becomes too thick during storage
- Adjust honey and lemon to taste based on raspberry sweetness
