Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons chia seeds (black or white)

â…“ cup 100% fruit juice (mango, berry, cranberry, or green juice)

1 teaspoon raw honey (or maple syrup/agave nectar)

Optional: Fresh fruit for topping (berries, mango, kiwi)

Optional: Squeeze of fresh lemon juice

3. Stir thoroughly until honey is fully dissolved and chia seeds are evenly distributed.

6. Top with fresh fruit if desired and serve cold.

7. Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week in an airtight container.

Notes

Use room temperature or cold liquid only – hot liquid damages chia seeds’ gelling properties.

Stir twice (at start and after 2-3 minutes) to prevent clumping.

For sugar-free version: Use unsweetened herbal tea and stevia instead of juice and honey.

For weight loss: Eat 15-30 minutes before meals to reduce appetite.

Meal prep tip: Make 5-7 servings on Sunday for grab-and-go snacks all week.

Pairs well with semaglutide recipes, Zepbound meal plans, and bariatric-friendly diets.
