Serve chilled: Let the drink sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend before drinking.
🍹 Serving and Storage Tips
Best consumed fresh, but you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Shake or stir before drinking, as chia seeds tend to settle at the bottom.
Enjoy this drink first thing in the morning or before meals for maximum benefits.
