Traditional Mexican drinks, chia frescas are a great source of sustained energy and are super refreshing. Chia seeds contain calcium, manganese, and phosphorus, and are a great source of healthy omega-3 fats.

Ingredients

  • 6 cup cubed watermelon
  • 1/2 lime, skin removed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (heaping)
  • 1 sprig mint leaves

Directions

  1. Run watermelon, mint, and lime through a good home juicer (we like Breville or Green Star).
  2. Place juice into a pitcher and stir in chia seeds.
  3. Let sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to allow the chia to absorb some of the juice and plump up.
