Ingredients & Substitutions
Coconut water is super hydrating, and if you can't find it, you can substitute with regular water or another plant-based milk. Fresh lime juice really makes a difference here, so I wouldn’t recommend bottled if you can help it. The maple syrup adds a lovely sweetness, but you can swap it out for agave or date syrup if you prefer!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass jar - they stay fresh for days and look pretty too!
- •If you want a thicker texture, let the chia seeds sit for longer before serving.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll throw in a splash of pineapple juice for an extra tropical vibe.
- •You could also blend in some spinach or kale for a green boost – it’s deliciously refreshing!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good stir before enjoying again, as the chia seeds will settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, but I recommend adding the chia seeds right before serving so they maintain their texture. You can prep the coconut water and lime mix in advance.
