Description
A bright, lightly spiced drink that provides steady energy and supports digestion with chia seeds and turmeric.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water, or half water and half coconut water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (or 2 teaspoons fresh grated)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, to taste
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional: 2 tablespoons almond or coconut milk
Instructions
- Stir turmeric, lemon juice, sweetener, and pepper into the water. Add milk if using.
- Add chia seeds and stir well for 30 seconds.
- Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring once more midway so seeds don’t clump.

Notes
For a sweeter taste, adjust the honey or maple syrup. Remember to stir before drinking as turmeric can settle.
