Blend the celery stalk, ginger, cucumber, lemon juice and chia with water until combined. Let it sit briefly so the chia thickens the drink, or add more water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
No. There is no good evidence that this drink removes toxins or cleanses the body. It provides fluid and some fiber, while your liver and kidneys handle the body's normal waste-processing functions.
It does not cause weight loss on its own. Choosing it instead of a sugary drink may reduce your overall energy intake, and chia's fiber can add some fullness, but the drink does not burn fat.
You can drink it whenever it suits you; there is no proven best time. Having it in the morning or before a meal does not give it a special detox or fat-burning effect.
No, soaking it first is not essential. Once mixed in, chia absorbs liquid and thickens the drink, so letting it stand briefly gives a gel-like texture. Stir again before drinking if the seeds settle.
You can strain it, but straining removes some of the pulp and chia, along with part of the drink's fiber. For a thicker drink that retains the ingredients, blend well and serve without straining.
It is not a reliable remedy for bloating. Chia adds fiber, which can support regular digestion but may increase gas when you suddenly eat more of it; use a modest amount and drink enough fluid.
It is best freshly made, but you can refrigerate leftovers in a covered container and drink them within a day. The chia continues to thicken, so stir well; discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, most people can include it daily, but it should not replace water or a balanced meal. If you are not used to chia's fiber, increase it gradually to avoid gas or digestive discomfort.
Yes, it contributes to fluid intake because it contains water-rich cucumber and other blended ingredients. It can be a refreshing drink, but plain water should still be your main choice for everyday hydration.

The Celery stalk, ginger, chia, lemon juice and cucumber drink combines crisp vegetables, fresh ginger, tart lemon and chia seeds. Blended together, celery and cucumber give it a light, watery base; the chia thickens the drink as it sits, while ginger adds a warming edge. It is best known as a fresh, homemade-style drink rather than a traditional dish tied to one particular region.
Serve it chilled for breakfast or as a daytime refreshment, as you might a vegetable juice or smoothie. Its flavour is bright and savoury rather than sweet, so it can also accompany a light lunch. The drink is low in calories and provides fibre, with chia contributing omega-3 fats. For a thinner texture, drink it soon after mixing; for a thicker one, let the chia swell briefly.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
