Instead of having caffeine, which is not only dehydrating but it taxes the adrenal glands aka producing excess cortisol.  I love to have this electrolyte filled drink instead.

You don’t need to a juicer to enjoy fresh ginger, just a microplane grater and zester to put into this drink and others!  I also use this to grate fresh turmeric into things like orange juice.

Chia seeds when soaked for about 15-20 minutes, absorb the liquid they’re in and become gelatinous.  It basically helps to do an internal cleanse through the digestion system to help move things through.  Not to mention they are a great source of fiber, great for the skin and contain heart healthy omega 3s!

Yes you can!  This drink can actually be made with coconut water instead of water and just omit the maple syrup.  This also provides a ton of extra electrolytes and is naturally sweet.  You could also substitute the maple syrup for any liquid sweetener of choice.

I usually pair it with Coconut Milk because coconut takes anything up a notch and mango and coconut were made for each other. Just like Mango and I. Chia Seeds add some major crunch and a pudding like texture to this drink. While they taste great, they are also extremely healthy because of the Omega 3 Fatty Acids present in them. Together with a spoonful of honey, this is one breakfast dish/drink/smoothie-type that you are going to want make over and over again.

Cold and refreshing it is an instant energy booster. Lemon Chia Fresca might just be the easiest health drink you can make at home – simply soak chia seeds in water with a little lemon juice.

Chia Fresca is the easiest all-natural health drink that you can make ahead and feast on all day. It has many health benefits. It keeps you hydrated, provides the necessary muscle building protein post-exercise, helps in weight loss and also boosts the metabolism. But mostly it makes me happy :-). After all Chia seeds are the ancient food of the Mayan gods!

Chia Fresca {easy Energizing Drink}

Ideally, chia fresca should be made 4-5 hours before drinking so that the seeds have had enough time to soak and swell in the water. I make mine the night before and then carry it with me everywhere I go all day. You can make it in the morning and carry it with you but wait for at least a couple of hours before drinking to get the maximum health benefits of chia seeds.

It is the cheapest flavored mineral water you will find :-). I see all these flavored water bottle selling at such high premium prices in the market and I can’t really believe how we get fooled into buying them thinking they are super healthy when they are loaded with sweeteners.

Chia seeds are hydrophilic, which is why they swell up when soaked and are great to make healthy gluten-free gelatinous puddings when used in large amounts. Chia Fresca is a light drink, therefore, the chia seeds to water ratio is much less as compared to puddings.

I use 1 tbsp chia seeds in 1 tall glass of water (~350ml). In this recipe, along with lemon juice, I add a little agave syrup for sweetening and a sprinkle of sea salt just to balance the flavors. You can play around with so many flavors for chia fresca. I am already thinking about watermelon juice chia fresca or maybe some coconut water chia fresca! Have fun playing with the flavors and combinations!
