What is Chia, Turmeric and Lemon Drink?

Chia, turmeric and lemon drink is a simple water-based blend made with chia seeds, lemon juice and turmeric. It is a contemporary homemade drink rather than a dish tied to one traditional cuisine. As the chia soaks, it softens and gives the liquid a gently thick, slightly speckled texture; lemon brings brightness, while turmeric adds an earthy note.

It is usually served chilled, either at home or from a café, and can be enjoyed with breakfast or as a refreshing drink between meals. Stir it well before drinking so the seeds are evenly distributed. For a lighter, tangier version, adjust the lemon and leave out sweetener. It provides fibre and plant-based omega-3; each 100 g contains 22 calories.
