Soak the Chia Seeds:
Add the chia seeds to the glass of water and stir well. Let them soak for about 30 minutes to an hour. As they soak, chia seeds will expand and turn gelatinous, which is key to their weight-loss properties.
Add Lemon Juice:
Once the chia seeds have gelled, squeeze the juice of one lemon into the glass. Lemon not only adds flavor but also aids in digestion and detoxification.
Mix and Enhance Flavor:
Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine the lemon juice and chia seeds evenly. If you like, you can add some mint leaves for a refreshing taste or a teaspoon of honey to sweeten it naturally.
Serve:
Drink this chia seed lemon detox water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach to kickstart your metabolism, or enjoy it about 30 minutes before meals to reduce appetite.
