How long do you need to soak chia seeds? (no, it’s not overnight)

Soaking chia seeds makes them easier to digest and allows your body to absorb their nutrients more efficiently. While many soak overnight, 10-15 minutes is enough to achieve a gel-like consistency suitable for smoothies or yogurt. Longer soaking creates a thicker texture ideal for puddings. Soaking also makes them more filling, aiding in weight management.
