Made this for the second day in a row. Pretty easy, nutritious, and surprisingly tasty and refreshing. I didn’t follow a recipe and am still experimenting. Let me know if you try this recipe or your own variation.
Icy Chia Fresca
Ingredients
1/2-1 Tbs Ground chia seed
~6 ice cubes
1/2 cup water
1/2 lime
4 drops vanilla stevia
Instructions
Place all in a blender and let ‘er rip. Serve in glass. I like to use a spoon to scoop up the icy slush. A sprig of mint on top would be great, I’m sure. You could also use lemonade instead of water.

The only thing I did differently, was use whole Chia seeds, I used Lemon Juice instead of Lime Juice, I substituted Light Agave Nectar and/or Grade B Maple Syrup for Stevia, and I added a tiny pinch Cayenne Pepper for a little kick! I’ll try your recipe next time!

Thanks for the note, Christina. The pepper sounds like a great idea. I have become a big fan of agave now – it works so well in cold drinks, too.

[...] The mention of chia seeds in the book definitely piqued my interest. I haven’t tried a recipe yet, however. [...]
