So let’s dive in and see how it’s made.

The Ingredients with Benefits

Let’s start by taking a closer look at the ingredients of this detox drink. Each one plays an important role in the detoxification process and brings a host of health benefits.

• Chia Seeds: They are a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. When soaked in water, they form a gel-like substance that helps collect toxins and flush them out of our system.
• Honey: Honey is a natural alternative to sugar and provides a hint of sweetness to the drink. It also contains minerals and vitamins that benefit our health.
• Warm Water: Warm water is better at detoxifying our bodies than cold water. It helps loosen, dissolve, and transport waste more efficiently.
• Fresh Lemon Juice: Lemon juice has a similar atomic structure to the digestive liquids in our stomachs, which tricks the liver into producing bile. This bile helps in the smooth digestion and passage of food through our body, promoting a healthy gut. The vitamin C and antioxidants in lemon water are also great for our skin, fighting off free radicals, and keeping our skin looking youthful.

The Instructions

Now, let’s get to the fun part: making the detox drink! It’s super simple and only takes a few minutes.

Step 1: Soak the chia seeds

Start by soaking 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds in 1/2 cup of water for about 10-20 minutes. This will activate their detoxifying properties and help them form a gel-like substance.

Step 2: Add the warm water

Add about 1 cup of warm water to the chia seed mixture. The warm water will help with the detoxification process.

Step 3: Squeeze in fresh lemon juice

Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon or more to taste. The lemon juice will help with digestion and add a refreshing zest to the drink.

Step 4: Add a drizzle of honey

Add about 1-2 teaspoons of honey to the mixture. The honey will sweeten the drink naturally and provide additional health benefits.

Step 5: Mix and enjoy!

Give the mixture a good stir, and your delicious and detoxifying drink is ready to enjoy. Drink it on an empty stomach for the best results.

Quick Note:

If you’re a vegan feel free to omit the honey and sweeten it with anything else you’d like. You can also eliminate sweeteners completely.

Pair this drink with a half-inch of fresh turmeric root for an additional health boost.
