Chia Gel Recipe

Chia gel is very simple to make. Many vegetarians and raw foodists like to use chia seeds. It is an Aztec superfood that is easily available nowadays. I like to put it in my smoothies. It also keeps you hydrated in the form of chia gel. But be careful if you eat the seeds alone without soaking them they might cause you to get dehydrated because chia seeds absorb 10x their volume in water. So be sure to soak them into chia gel or drink plenty of water.

Chia are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids which are very good for you. They are also a good source of fiber, calcium, zinc, iron, and other minerals. Here is a simple way to make chia gel.

1 tbsp dry chia seeds
9 tbsp filtered water

-Mix with a spoon until all the seeds are wet and then store in the fridge overnight.

Tip- Some people like to soak them in milk instead of water, and they add ingredients like cinnamon and honey to make a chia pudding.
