Ingredients & Substitutions
Chia seeds are little powerhouses packed with omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. They can be a bit tricky if they clump together, so a good stir is key! You can also swap in coconut milk for a richer flavor or adjust the sweetness based on your taste preferences.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my chia seeds in a glass jar - they stay fresh for weeks and are always easy to grab!
- •If you want to spice things up, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a spoonful of almond butter for extra creaminess and protein.
- •If I’m feeling fancy, I might add a splash of coconut milk for a tropical twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. Just remember to stir it a bit before drinking, as the chia may settle at the bottom.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this elixir ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. The chia seeds will continue to absorb liquid, so give it a little stir before you enjoy.
What if I don’t have all the spices?
No worries! You can always use what you have on hand. A dash of allspice or even cardamom would work beautifully too.
