chia seed water with pink salt

Recipe by Molina

This three ingredient morning drink combines chia seeds, filtered water, and pink Himalayan salt to create a hydrating, mineral rich beverage. It uses the gel forming properties of chia seeds and the electrolyte profile of pink salt to support sustained hydration and early satiety.

  • DietGluten Free, Vegan

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon whole chia seeds
  • 10 oz filtered water, room temperature or slightly warm
  • 1/8 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
  • Optional: juice of half a lemon or lime
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup


Instructions

  1. Add chia seeds to a glass or wide mouth jar.
  2. Pour water over the seeds and stir immediately for 30 seconds to prevent clumping.
  3. Add pink Himalayan salt and stir again.
  4. Let the mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once at the 5 minute mark to break up gel clusters.
  5. Add lemon juice or honey if using.
  6. Stir well and drink immediately, or seal and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Notes

For a thinner texture, reduce chia to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons. For maximum fiber and gel, use 1 and 1/2 tablespoons. Shake before drinking if stored overnight. For overnight prep, soak seeds in 10 oz of water in a sealed jar in the refrigerator. Add pink salt and lemon fresh in the morning.
