If you want to start the day actively and healthily, chia water is a good option. The seeds are rich in antioxidants, protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. The trend drink supports weight loss because it boosts the metabolism.
Chia seeds are so good
Chia seeds absorb a lot of liquid. By swelling in the water, they fill the stomach, create a long-lasting feeling of satiety and thus curb the appetite.
In addition, the carbohydrates are only released very slowly in the body and the blood sugar level remains constant. In combination with a lot of exercise and targeted muscle building, chia water is a good support when losing weight.
Diet drink recipe
- First, the chia seeds need to swell. To do this, fill a glass half full with water (approx. 150 ml) and soak the chia seeds in it for at least half an hour. Tip: You can also do this step in the evening and then use the finished chia water in the morning.
- Then squeeze the lemon into the glass with the swollen chia seeds. Add some sweetening (e.g. with stevia) and ice cubes if you like.
- Top up with water and enjoy garnished with a sprig of fresh mint.
You can drink up to three glasses of this slimming drink per day. Then the recommended daily amount of 15 g (3 teaspoons) of chia seeds has been reached.
