Strawberry juice with chia seeds is a fruit drink with soaked chia seeds suspended in it, giving small gel-coated “beads”. Chia adds fibre and plant omega-3 (ALA); a 250 ml drink with a few grams of seeds typically provides 1–2 g of fibre. ACM’s version comes in a 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) slim can with a 24-month shelf life.
What do chia seeds add to a drink?
| Chia seeds (per 1 tablespoon, about 12 g) | Amount |
|---|---|
| Fibre | about 4 g |
| Plant omega-3 (ALA) | about 2 g |
| Protein | about 2 g |
| Calcium | about 75 mg |
Source: USDA FoodData Central. A ready-to-drink can contains less than a tablespoon, so the nutrition per can is smaller; the main appeal is texture and a “real ingredient” look. ALA is a plant omega-3 and is not the same as the EPA and DHA found in fish.

Frequently asked questions
Are the chia seeds soft in the drink?
Yes. They are pre-soaked, so each seed has a soft gel coating with a slight bite in the centre.
Does chia seed juice help digestion?
Chia fibre supports regular digestion, though one can provides only a modest amount.
How long does it last?
24 months unopened. Shake before drinking.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes for older children; seeds are fully soaked, but supervise young children because of the texture.
