Chia Fresca Summer Drink

Chia seeds can be ground or left whole and soaking in water will create around each seed a gel (soluble fiber) that helps to lubricate digestion. Use it in any juice or smoothie for an additional boost of 20% protein, 50% Omega 3’s, a huge dose of fiber and high-quality antioxidants as well.

Ingredients

• 1 quart water
• 3 tablespoon chia seeds
• 2-4 oz citrus juice (lemon, lime, orange or grapefruit)

Instructions

1. Mix and whisk a few times in the first 10 minutes to prevent the seeds from clumping.
2. Add a sprig of mint or basil.
