{Handmade} BLUSH AGUA FRESCA WITH CHIA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BLUSH AGUA FRESCA WITH CHIA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Refreshing, Uber Healthy & Delicious! Perfect with breakfast, as a mid-day pick up, or before/after a workout. A fun and festive drink that is also fitting for brunch and parties...wouldn't this be a fun Summer BBQ drink? Unless you live in AZ like me where nobody parties in the summer because we hibernate and wait until the asphalt stops melting so we can go outside again.

Yield:

8 x 8 oz. glasses 

Materials:

2 qts. water

1/2 lemon, sliced into half moons (or however you like!)

4 large strawberries, sliced

10 cranberries, halved

1 tsp. fresh ginger, sliced thinly

chia seeds (add to glass-full to taste, I did 1 tsp per 8oz glass)

Procedure: 

Fill pitcher with water. Add fruit and ginger (do not add chia yet). 

Stir with spoon and squish fruit against side of pitcher walls to release juices. Store in fridge.

To serve, pour into glass, add 1 tsp. chia (or to taste) and stir. Add ice if you like. That's it...enjoy!

Results:

So refreshing! And a great way to drink more water and add more chia to your life!  You can tailor to the food you are serving by switching up the fruits & herbs.  Also great if you are getting sick of chia smoothies and want to spice it up:-)
