Chia Detox Water

Hello there!  How are you doing with being healthy?  If you want to get healthy and drink more water I have the perfect drink for you.  Today I am sharing a Chia Detox Water.  Chia seeds are a superfood that everyone needs to have in the pantry.

Chia seeds are gluten-free and a good source of calcium.  They are also supposed to help curb your appetite.  When added to a glass of water they swell up and take on a gel-like consistency.  I know I don’t ever drink enough water.  It is so good for you and yet why is it so hard to drink?  Really the only time I drink water is at the gym while I am working out.  By then my muscles are screaming for water and it’s too late.  I am trying to drink this detox water first thing in the mornings.  It helps wake me up and gives me the energy to get going.

I also enjoy adding chia seeds to jams, yogurt and smoothies.

Supplies you might need:

• Chia Seeds
• agave nectar

I like to add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to my water.  They make black and white ones.  I used a glass jar with a lid.  Shake the jar really well and let sit for about 10 minutes or until the seeds absorb enough water.  Then I add lime juice from one lime and 1/4 teaspoon of agave nectar for sweetness.  Shake again and drink.  Since the seeds become almost like a gel, it might take some getting used to.  Another thing is that lime juice is an anti-inflammatory.  All-round this detox water is super good for you.
