% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

FAQ
For the best texture of a smooth, pudding-like consistency, soaking your chia seeds in almond milk needs about 8-12 hours, or overnight. However, for a time-crunch, 2 hours works enough to ensure that the chia seeds have absorbed some moisture.
The research is still mixed. One 2023 trial suggested chia may improve HDL, while a 2024 meta analysis found no significant overall change in LDL, HDL, total cholesterol, or triglycerides across pooled trials.
No. What they may do is support better cardiovascular health over time because chia contains fiber and plant omega 3 fats. Chia seed supplementation was associated with modest improvements in total cholesterol, but is very different from removing plaque directly.
Chia seeds in almond milk may support metabolic health in some people, but the evidence is still early and stronger for specific groups, such as people with fatty liver disease, not for general liver “detox.” In one study of people with NAFLD, chia supplementation was linked to regression of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in about 52% of participants, but that does not mean chia milk detoxes the liver in healthy people.
Yes, they can in rare cases, especially if eaten dry or by someone with swallowing problems. Chia seeds absorb a lot of liquid and expand quickly, and a reported esophageal impaction case showed they may become stuck if consumed improperly. It is usually safer to soak them well first and start with moderate portions.
