Drinking chia seed water offers hydration and may have benefits for gut and heart health. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and other nutrients. A safe and effective way to drink chia seed water is to mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of chia seeds into a glass of water and let them soak for 2-3 hours. For best results, soak them overnight. Chia seeds are packed with fiber, plant-based protein and healthy fats. Chia water can be made with 1 to 3 teaspoons of chia seeds for every 8 to 16 ounces of water. This drink may help improve digestion, support heart health and keep you feeling full longer. More importantly, chia seed water is excellent for hydration, as the gel-like consistency retains water and slowly releases it into the body, keeping you cool and refreshed throughout the day.
