Description
Simple chia seed water recipe for hydration, weight loss, and appetite control. Made with just chia seeds and water, this gel-forming drink provides sustained fullness, omega-3s, and fiber. Perfect for morning detox or pre-meal satiety. Tested for 30 days with real results.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons chia seeds (organic recommended)
16 ounces cold filtered water (or room temperature)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for flavor)
1 teaspoon raw honey (optional, for sweetness)
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Pour 16 ounces of cold or room temperature water into a large glass or mason jar with lid.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to the water.
3. Stir vigorously with a spoon or shake jar with lid for 30 seconds to distribute seeds evenly and prevent clumping.
4. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
5. Stir or shake again thoroughly to break up any clumps that formed during initial soaking.
6. Let sit for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until chia seeds develop a gel-like coating and expand fully.
7. Stir one final time before drinking to ensure even consistency.
8. Add optional lemon juice, honey, or mint leaves for enhanced flavor if desired.
9. Drink immediately or refrigerate in sealed container for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use.
Notes
Start with just 1 tablespoon of chia seeds if you’re new to high-fiber drinks. Gradually increase to 2 tablespoons after 3 to 4 days as your digestive system adapts.
Always drink an additional 24 to 48 ounces of plain water throughout the day when consuming chia seed water, as the seeds absorb water during digestion.
For overnight preparation: Mix ingredients before bed, refrigerate 8 to 12 hours, shake well in morning before drinking.
Stirring multiple times prevents clumping and ensures smooth gel texture.
Best consumed 20 to 30 minutes before meals for appetite control benefits.
Chia seed water works synergistically with Dr Oz pink gelatin recipe for enhanced fullness.
For GLP-1 medication users (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound): Start with 1 tablespoon chia seeds and consume at least 2 hours away from medication dosing.
Flavor variations: Add turmeric and ginger for anti-inflammatory benefits, use coconut water for electrolytes, or steep in chamomile tea for evening relaxation.
Do not consume dry chia seeds without liquid as they can cause choking or digestive blockage.
If you experience bloating, reduce quantity or increase water intake.
