Ingredients

2 Tablespoons chia seeds about 20g
2 cups apple juice about 480ml
Fresh ginger sliced (for garnish); optional

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds with ½ cup of apple juice. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed.
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the juice and swell, creating a. gel-like consistency
Once the chia seeds have expanded, pour in the remaining apple juice and mix until well combined.
If you’re using ginger, slice it thinly and add it to the juice for a refreshing kick. You can also muddle the ginger slightly to release more flavor.
Pour the chia apple juice into glasses and give it a gentle stir before serving. You can also chill it in the refrigerator for a bit if you prefer it cold.
Garnish with additional slices of ginger on the side of the glass, if desired.

Notes

Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the sweetness by using unsweetened apple juice or adding a bit of honey or maple syrup if you like it even sweeter.

Nutrient-Dense Options: This drink is packed with fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, making it a nutritious choice for breakfast or a refreshing snack.

Storage: If you’re not eating low histamine, chia apple juice can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh. Just give it a good stir before serving, as the chia seeds may settle at the bottom. The rest can also be used to make some great popsicles!

Adding Flavor: Try adding in a dash of homemade flavored simple syrups for some more unusual flavor blends, like my basil syrup, cardamom syrup, or rose syrup.
