Chia Gel

Make your smoothies and drinks thicker with a boost in their nutrient profile as well.


Chia seeds in your smoothies and drinks? Try using this gel to speed things up!


In white and black varieties, chia seeds are a nutrient powerhouse. Rich in protein, these tiny seeds deliver potassium, magnesium, calcium, and manganese.


Chia seeds are also one of the best plant sources of omega-3 fats and can contribute to your daily fiber needs in a big way. Their ability to absorb liquid is what thickens the drink, but don’t use more than the recommended amount—your drink will turn into a gel!
