Chia seed milk drink

Chia seed milk drink is a refreshing, creamy, and nutrient-dense beverage that combines the natural goodness of chia seeds with the smooth taste of milk (dairy or plant-based). Chia seeds swell up in liquid to form a gel-like texture, creating a unique drink that’s both satisfying and hydrating. Lightly sweetened with honey, dates, or maple syrup, and sometimes flavored with vanilla or cinnamon, this wholesome drink is not only delicious but also packed with health benefits

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of chia seeds

1 cup of milk (can be dairy or plant-based like almond, coconut, or oat milk)

Sweetener to taste (optional: honey, maple syrup, or sugar)

Optional toppings: fruits, nuts, or vanilla essence for extra flavor

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a jar or glass, mix the chia seeds with the milk.

Sweeten: Add your preferred sweetener, if desired, and stir well.

Rest: Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.

Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and expand, creating a pudding-like consistency.

Serve: Stir before serving and enjoy as is, or add your favorite toppings.

This recipe is great as a refreshing drink or a healthy snack!
