Ingredients & Substitutions
Chia seeds are fantastic for their omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. If you want to change things up, you can use lemon juice instead of lime for a different twist. Just make sure to adjust the sweetness accordingly, since lemons are a bit more tart!
Tips & Notes
- •I love keeping a jar of this in the fridge for a quick, hydrating snack.
- •If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a splash of coconut water instead of plain water for a tropical twist.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll toss in a handful of berries for added flavor and a splash of color.
- •You can also infuse the water with slices of cucumber or ginger for an extra refreshing kick.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. Just remember to give it a little shake before you pour, as the chia seeds might settle at the bottom.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Give it a good stir before serving, as the chia seeds may settle.
