FAQs

How long does the chia gel need to sit before using?

Let the chia seeds sit in water for about 15 minutes (or until they form a gel-like texture) before mixing them into the drink.

Can I make this drink ahead of time?

Yes — you can prepare the chia gel in advance and refrigerate it. Mix with coconut water, sparkling water, and lime right before drinking to preserve the fizz.

Is it safe for diabetics or people avoiding sugar?

Yes — the recipe contains no added sugars. Coconut water, lime juice, sparkling water, and chia are all naturally low in sugar, making it a good hydration option.

Can I use canned coconut water?

Yes, as long as it is pure and unsweetened coconut water. Avoid coconut‑water drinks with added sugars or flavorings.

What if I don’t have chia seeds?

You can skip the chia gel — the drink will still be refreshing and hydrating, though it won’t have the extra fibre or gel‑texture.

Can I make a larger batch for a group?

Yes — just scale up the ingredients proportionally (e.g. double or triple everything) and mix in a large pitcher. Add ice and lime wedges before serving.

Is this drink suitable for children?

Yes — it’s caffeine-free, sugar-free, and naturally hydrating, making it a healthy choice for kids (as long as they tolerate coconut water).

Will the drink stay fizzy if prepared in advance?

If stored in a sealed container in the fridge, some of the carbonation may dissipate over time. It’s best enjoyed soon after mixing.

Can I add fruit pieces or juice for extra flavor?

Absolutely — a splash of pineapple juice, or a few berries or citrus slices, can add extra flavor. Keep in mind that additional juices may change the flavor balance.

Is there a best time to drink this?

This drink is excellent after workouts, outdoor activity, or anytime you want a refreshing, hydrating beverage. It’s also great during hot weather or as a substitute for sugary sodas.
