Nutritional values

The chia seeds, which are swollen in water and coated with gel, not only have a unique, delicious texture, but also supply us with many polyunsaturated fatty acids that keep the blood vessels fit.

If you do not like the taste of coconut, you can also replace coconut water with non-carbonated mineral water.
