Refreshing Summer Drinks with Nutrient-Packed Chia Seeds
Summer can leave you feeling dehydrated and exhausted, leading many to turn to store-bought coolers or flavored fruit juices. However, these drinks are often loaded with added preservatives and lack essential nutrients. But fear not, there is a simple solution to beat the heat and stay healthy – chia seeds!
Chia seeds are a superfood that can improve the body’s healthy functioning, aid in weight loss, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Incorporating them into your diet is easy and can be done with ingredients found in your kitchen. Here are two simple recipes to try out this summer:
Lemon Mint Cooler: For a refreshing and healthy summer drink, soak chia seeds in warm water for 10 minutes. Blend lemon juice, mint leaves, water, and honey in a mixer. Mix the beverage with the soaked chia seeds and refrigerate. Serve cold for the perfect summer cooler.
Chia Seed and Cranberry Juice: For a nutrient-rich breakfast drink, combine two cups of warm water with six tablespoons of chia seeds in a glass jar. Refrigerate overnight. In the morning, mix the chia seed mixture with two cups of fresh cranberry juice (or any fruit juice of your choice). Stir and enjoy the health benefits of chia seeds with this simple and delicious drink.
Incorporating chia seeds into your diet is an excellent way to stay healthy and refreshed this summer. These easy recipes are perfect for women on the go who want to stay hydrated while still enjoying delicious and healthy drinks.
