1 cup (medium) of Kefir with chia seeds (200 g) has 150 calories. That works out to 75 calories per 100 g. It contains 12 g of carbs, 8.4 g of protein, 7 g of fat and 5.6 g of fiber. Its 0.7 µg of B12 covers 29% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 30 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Kefir with chia seeds combines kefir—a tangy, fermented milk drink associated with the Caucasus—with tiny chia seeds. As they sit in the liquid, the seeds absorb moisture and give the drink a thicker, softly gel-like texture.
Its mild sourness works well with chia’s subtle flavour. In places where kefir is commonly enjoyed, it can be served chilled at breakfast or as a snack; elsewhere, try it with oats, fruit or a little granola for a more filling bowl. The mixture provides protein and fibre, with 2.8 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter-tasting version, use plain kefir and add fresh fruit rather than sweetening it.

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.

Kefir with chia seeds combines kefir’s live cultures with chia’s fiber and plant-based omega-3 fats. It can be a nourishing snack, but it is not a treatment for digestive problems or any other health condition.
To make kefir with chia seeds, stir the seeds into plain kefir and let the mixture stand until they soften and absorb some liquid. Stir again before serving, and add more kefir if the texture gets too thick.
Yes, you can leave kefir with chia seeds overnight in a covered container in the refrigerator. The seeds will absorb more liquid and create a thicker, pudding-like texture; stir it before eating and loosen it with kefir if needed.
Kefir with chia seeds does not cause weight loss on its own. Its protein and fiber may help you feel satisfied, especially when it replaces a less filling snack, but it is not a weight-loss remedy.
Yes, kefir with chia seeds can be eaten or drunk before bed if it suits your digestion. It has no established sleep benefit, and the thickened texture may feel more like a small snack than a drink.
Soaking chia seeds in kefir is not essential, but it softens them and makes the mixture easier to eat. Give the mixture time to thicken; if you prefer a thinner drink, stir in extra kefir.
Yes, kefir with chia seeds can cause bloating in some people, particularly when they are not used to much fiber or have trouble digesting dairy. Start with a small serving and increase it gradually if it feels comfortable.
Yes, you can blend kefir with chia seeds for a smoother drink, though blending breaks up the seeds and changes their texture. For a thicker result, let the mixture stand after blending so the chia can absorb liquid.
Kefir with chia seeds may separate as the seeds settle or absorb liquid unevenly; this is normal and does not by itself mean the mixture has spoiled. Stir it before serving and keep it refrigerated.
Yes, kefir with chia seeds can work for breakfast as a quick, filling option. Let the seeds soften ahead of time, then add fruit or oats if you want a more substantial meal.
