Ingredients
1 cup water or unsweetened coconut water
½ lemon, freshly squeezed
½ tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
1 tsp chia seeds
Dash of ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Pour water or coconut water into a tall glass or jar.
Add lemon juice, grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, and a dash of cinnamon. Stir well.
Stir in chia seeds and let sit for 5–10 minutes to plump.
Stir again and sip slowly, ideally on an empty stomach in the morning.
Notes
Add Ginger: Boost digestion with a pinch of freshly grated ginger.
Use Coconut Water: For added electrolytes and a touch of sweetness.
Let Chia Soak: Wait 10 minutes for thicker, more filling texture.
Skip the Cinnamon: If spice isn’t your thing, it’s still great without it.
Chill It: Serve cold over ice for a refreshing summer version.
