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:
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.
