Benexia launches first-ever chia milk under Seeds of Wellness brand

Benexia, a company specializing in chia-based ingredients, has introduced Seeds of Wellness Chia Milk, the first plant-based milk made from whole chia seeds. The new product debuts in select Costco locations across several US states, including California, Washington, and Oregon, with nationwide availability on Amazon.

Positioned as a nutrient-dense alternative to traditional plant-based milks, Seeds of Wellness Chia Milk delivers 740mg of plant-based Omega-3s per serving, which the company claims is four times more fiber than leading almond and oat milks, and three times more protein than rice milk. Made without added sugars and fortified with calcium and vitamin D, it offers a balance of taste and nutrition with just 25 calories per serving.

Sandra Gillot, CEO & Co-Founder of Benexia, highlighted the company’s expertise in chia cultivation and processing. “We are chia experts. We grow chia, we study chia, and we harness the nutritional power of chia to deliver wholesome products that we believe consumers deserve,” she said. “We looked at the best milk alternatives on the market and asked ourselves how we could elevate options for consumers. From seed to shelf, every aspect of Seeds of Wellness Chia Milk is designed with human and planet health in mind.”

Unlike many plant-based milks that require extensive water use, Benexia’s chia farming follows regenerative agricultural practices and relies exclusively on rainwater. The company’s nearly zero-waste, zero-water processing method ensures that no solvents or enzymes are used when converting whole chia seeds into milk. Water is only introduced as the main ingredient in the final product.

Dr Wendy Bazilian, Doctor of Public Health and Registered Dietitian, praised the product’s nutritional benefits. “Seeds of Wellness Chia Milk is a bona fide, delicious milk alternative packed with wholesome ingredients and essential nutrients. It offers Omega-3s, fiber, and protein from chia, in every glass, delivering excellent nutrition and a sustainably sourced and produced beverage, without compromise.”

The product is currently available in an Original flavor, with a Vanilla variety set to launch soon. With its smooth and creamy texture, it is positioned as a versatile option for smoothies, lattes, baking, cereals, and more.

Consumers can find Seeds of Wellness Chia Milk at select Costco locations in California, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Alaska, and Hawaii, with further expansion planned. Nationwide shipping is also available via Amazon.
