Ingredients & Substitutions

Chia seeds are little powerhouses packed with omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. They can be a bit tricky if they clump together, so a good stir is key! You can also swap in coconut milk for a richer flavor or adjust the sweetness based on your taste preferences.

Tips & Notes

•I keep my chia seeds in a glass jar - they stay fresh for weeks and are always easy to grab!
•If you want to spice things up, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.

Recipe Variations

•Sometimes I’ll throw in a spoonful of almond butter for extra creaminess and protein.
•If I’m feeling fancy, I might add a splash of coconut milk for a tropical twist!

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. Just remember to stir it a bit before drinking, as the chia may settle at the bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this elixir ahead of time?

Absolutely! Just keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. The chia seeds will continue to absorb liquid, so give it a little stir before you enjoy.

What if I don’t have all the spices?

No worries! You can always use what you have on hand. A dash of allspice or even cardamom would work beautifully too.
