It all started out with a TikTok — and now it’s a part of my daily health routine

When it comes to the Chia seeds, the first time I was introduced to it was as a child with — you guessed it — the ch-ch-ch-chia! ads on TV.
I begged my parents to let me get a chia pet from the 1–800 number that could ironically only be called by adults 18 or older.
I mean… it was a pet. I needed it.
I find it extremely fitting that the way I discovered chia seed water was via scrolling TikTok. It’s the modern way to find everything you need — and everything you never knew you needed.
The TikTok recipe directions were to:
- Fill a glass with chia seeds and water
- Drink a glass 30 minutes before each meal
It seemed very simple — and I had chia seeds and water at home.
However, I decided to upgrade the drink due to a personal preference.
I see chia seed water and I raise you — chia seed tea.
