Chia & Raspberry Fresca

 

I crave this often, especially when the weather is warming up, the sun is shining and I feel like having a fresh coconut on a beach somewhere…which is not always possible but this comes pretty close in my eyes!

This chia Fresca is basically nature’s energy drink. The perfect afternoon pick me up, or post-workout boost, it’s full of minerals and electrolytes from the coconut water and the chia seeds. Plenty of vitamin C from the lime & raspberries, and the added energy boost from the chia seeds, as well as your daily dose of Omega 3s!
