A detox drink with chia and cucumber is made by adding chia seeds and cucumber slices to water, then stirring well. Let it stand until the seeds begin to swell; lemon or mint can add flavor without needing sweetener.
No, a detox drink with chia and cucumber does not cause weight loss on its own. Chia seeds add fiber and can make the drink more filling, but it is not a substitute for meals or a weight-loss treatment.
No, a detox drink with chia and cucumber does not flush toxins from your body. Your liver and kidneys handle waste removal; this drink can simply be a refreshing way to take in fluids.
Soak chia seeds in a detox drink with chia and cucumber until they absorb some liquid and develop a gel-like coating. Stir again after adding them to help prevent clumps, and leave them longer if you prefer a thicker texture.

Detox drink with chia and cucumber is a refreshing water-based drink made with cucumber and chia seeds. It is better understood as a modern wellness-style recipe than as a traditional dish from one particular region. As the seeds sit in the liquid, they develop a soft, gel-like coating that gives each sip a lightly thickened texture. Its mild, cool taste works well as a between-meal drink or alongside breakfast, and lemon or mint can add extra freshness. It is low in calories and provides fibre: per 100 g, it has 25 calories and 2.1 g of fibre. For a lighter texture, use chia sparingly and serve it well chilled.
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.
