About Chia Sisters

In 2012, Neuroscientist Chloe Van Dyke set out to create a natural drink that would give her athletic family long-lasting energy and hydration. While studying Herbal Medicine and Neuroscience, she came across many superfoods, including chia seeds — a food cherished by Aztecs and Mayans for centuries. These seeds captured her interest because they were rich in the nutrients we typically need more of in our everyday lives. Through further research, Chloe learned that chia seeds were widely used in ancient times for endurance support. People would hydrate the seeds and consume them for reliable energy over long periods of physical activity. Although finding the right balance of flavour was vital, the most challenging element was hydrating the chia seeds. Each seed needed to be individually hydrated to unlock the power of the nutrients. It took two years of research and testing to master the hydration technology, enabling the seeds to be completely hydrated for the body to fully absorb the nutrients. Her sister Florence (a New Zealand Triathlete) and their dad Ben (a world champion swimmer) were among the first to try the product. They loved it, and not just for the flavour; they loved how it made them feel. Shortly after the launch of the Chia Superfood Drink, Florence joined Chloe in her venture. Together, they sought to continue creating delicious, all-natural drinks that would support everyday health needs and leave a positive impact on the planet.Read their story
