Chia seeds…a popular superfood that is so versatile, they can be used in so many ways!

So last summer I tried Mama Chia drinks for the first time…I know I know, not on plan, but we were away from home for most of the summer, and I really wanted to try one to see if I would even consider making my own.  I have to admit that they are delicious.  I thought I may not like the texture of gelled chia seeds, but again, I loved it!  I’m sure there are those out there who despise that type of texture, but there’s something fun about drinking chia juice.

Well, I went on a mission to make my own chia juice.  It’s rather easy actually.  I got the idea from Mama Natural.  Her recipe is right here!  Instead of using juice, I have used one cup of brewed flavored tea (that has cooled – berry is one of my favorites), Bai drinks or even your favorite Good Girl Moonshine.

This beverage falls under the S fuel category simply because chia seeds are full of good omega-3 fatty acids.  Not only are they rich in good fats, they are also a protein source.  Since I use 3 Tablespoons per drink, it is well over 5 grams of fat.  You could make this juice a Fuel Pull if you used half that amount…but your drink may not be as thick.  Still good for you either way!

I love the fact that chia seeds are so beneficial to my body.  There is tons of information to read on chia seeds.  I happen to like Dr Axe’s views, so here’s what he has to say on them.

Please let me know in the comments if you’ve ever tried a chia drink and what you think of the texture…love it? sorta like it?  I’d love to hear from you about this Powerhouse juice!
