What Do Chia Seeds Taste Like?

Chia seeds have a neutral taste, with slightly nutty hints. They don’t have a strong flavor, so adding them to sweet or savory recipes (or just water) is great.

Benefits of Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are little nutrition powerhouses!  They contain omega 3 fatty acids, and the fiber can help keep you full. Nutrition Facts.org has a great video about the benefits of eating whole chia seeds versus ground. For this recipe, I kept them whole, but you can do either.

You can also enjoy this drink warm or cold. The warm drink is more like a tea, which tastes great!  You could always add a tea bag of your choice while the seeds are steeping too, for more flavor.

What’s In this Lemon Chia Seed Drink?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Chia Seeds – a nutritious additional to all kinds of recipes- chia seeds are fantastic to add into smoothies or enjoy as a chia seed pudding. These little seeds are super versatile (ever heard of chia pets?) and are wonderful to cook and bake with! 
• Water, either warm or cold
• Lemon Juice: Use fresh lemons if you have it, or bottled lemon that you can keep in your pantry if you don’t have fresh lemons. This organic lemon is great for dressings, dips, and even cocktails – and it tastes fresh, which is great to have around if you don’t use lemon juice everyday but still want to keep some around.
• Maple Syrup – optional for a little sweetness.

You can also add a pinch of sea salt for extra electrolytes.

Inexpensive and Affordable Drink Recipes For Everyone

I love how inexpensive this chia seed water is to make – just pennies per glass if you buy chia seeds in bulk! This recipe uses a lot of ingredients you would have in your dry pantry or cupboards – most of which you probably have on hand.

Keeping a well-stocked pantry makes it easy to come up with delicious and tasty meals using a few staples you can rotate.  I made a list of my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples that always keep stocked. By stocking up on whole ingredients you can cook delicious recipes without a trip to the store!

How Do I Make Lemon Chia Seed Water?

1. In a mason jar or large glass add the chia seeds, water, and agave if using. Squeeze lemon slices in the drink, and add the peels to the jar to steep.
2. Stir once a minute for 5 minutes until the chia seeds have plumped.
3. Discard the lemon peels (we compost them!), and enjoy.
