Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 4 cups water
- Optional: Slices of lemon or lime
Instructions
- Gently rinse your mixed berries.
- Place the berries and chia seeds into a pitcher.
- Add the water to the pitcher. If using, add lemon or lime slices now.
- Stir the mixture well to distribute the chia seeds.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to gel and the flavors to infuse.
- Stir again before serving. Enjoy cold.
Notes
- For easier cleanup, you can place the berries and chia seeds in a tea infuser ball or a fine mesh bag before adding them to the water.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a small amount of natural sweetener like stevia or a drizzle of honey before chilling.
- You can strain the mixture if you do not want to consume the seeds or fruit pieces, but the fiber and nutrients are best when consumed whole.
