5 foods to avoid mixing with chia seeds

Raw Egg Whites: Egg whites can interfere with nutrient absorption from chia seeds due to avidin, a protein that binds biotin.

High-Sugar Drinks: Chia seeds thicken liquids, so combining them with sugary drinks can make the mixture overly dense and unhealthy.

Dairy Products: Mixing chia seeds with milk or yogurt can cause rapid gelling, making the texture unpleasant for some people.

Caffeinated Beverages: Caffeine can dehydrate, counteracting chia seeds' hydrating properties.

High-Fat Foods: Combining chia seeds with fatty foods may lead to digestive discomfort due to their fiber content.
