Chia Fresca Bliss - Vegan recipe hero image

I absolutely adore making Chia Fresca Bliss on hot summer afternoons.

It’s such a simple recipe, yet it feels like a little celebration in a glass!

I remember sipping this with friends during a picnic in the park, and it always sparks joyful conversations.

Plus, it’s a fantastic way to stay hydrated and nourish your body at the same time.

  • ✓No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • ✓Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • ✓Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Chia seeds are fantastic for their omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. If you want to change things up, you can use lemon juice instead of lime for a different twist. Just make sure to adjust the sweetness accordingly, since lemons are a bit more tart!

Tips & Notes

  • •I love keeping a jar of this in the fridge for a quick, hydrating snack.
  • •If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a splash of coconut water instead of plain water for a tropical twist.

Recipe Variations

  • •Sometimes, I’ll toss in a handful of berries for added flavor and a splash of color.
  • •You can also infuse the water with slices of cucumber or ginger for an extra refreshing kick.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. Just remember to give it a little shake before you pour, as the chia seeds might settle at the bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! Just keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Give it a good stir before serving, as the chia seeds may settle.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds with 1 cup of water. Stir well to prevent clumping.

  2. 2

    Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. You'll notice the chia seeds will absorb the water and create a gel-like consistency.

  3. 3

    In a separate pitcher, mix the remaining cup of water, fresh lime juice, and maple syrup. Stir until the syrup is fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Once the chia mixture is ready, add it to the pitcher with the lime water. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Lastly, add the torn mint leaves and give it another gentle stir. Let it sit for another 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  6. 6

    Pour into glasses, adding ice if desired, and enjoy your refreshing Chia Fresca Bliss!
