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

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