Make the viral Bariatric Seed Trick something you actually enjoy! Here’s the classic base recipe plus three flavor-packed variations—Citrus Zinger, Berry Blast, and Spiced Chai—to help you stay consistent with this natural appetite-control remedy.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon basil seeds (or chia seeds)
  • 8–10 oz room temperature water
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt

Citrus Zinger Add-ins:

  • Juice of ½ lemon or lime
  • 3–4 fresh mint leaves
  • Optional: 1–2 drops liquid stevia

Berry Blast Add-ins:

  • 4–5 raspberries or blueberries
  • Optional: 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Optional: pinch of vanilla extract

Spiced Chai Add-ins:

  • 2–3 tbsp unsweetened almond or coconut milk
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of cardamom or ginger
  • Optional: 1–2 drops vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 tablespoon of basil or chia seeds and add to 8–10 oz room temperature water.
  2. Stir immediately to prevent clumping.
  3. Let sit for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally every 5 minutes, until a gel-like consistency forms.
  4. For Citrus Zinger: add lemon or lime juice and mint leaves before soaking. Stir gently.
  5. For Berry Blast: muddle berries at the bottom of the glass before adding water and seeds. Soak and stir. Strain if preferred.
  6. For Spiced Chai: after soaking the seeds, stir in almond milk and spices. Let rest another 5 minutes.
  7. Consume slowly, 20–30 minutes before your meal.

Notes

Soak seeds fully before drinking. Try flavor variations to stay consistent. Store soaked mix up to 48 hours in the fridge. Adjust thickness by changing water-to-seed ratio.
