Chia Drink

Every day I make a delicious drink that has chia seeds in it. I discovered this drink at the health food store -- it's called Mama Chia, and it's amazing, but way too expensive for me ($3.99 a bottle!). So, I figured out how to make it for myself on the cheap.

1.  Use an empty glass bottle with a cap from a drink like Snapple and wash it well.

2.  Fill it 3/4 of the way full with spring water.

3.  Pour some juice into the bottle, leaving about an inch of empty space at the top. My favorite is the natural strawberry juice. This works best with a juice that has some body to it. Peach is good, too.

4.  Now, pour one to two tablespoons of chia seeds into the top of the bottle. Put the cap on and shake very well.

5.  You will have to keep giving the bottle a shake every now and then for a few minutes or else the hydrating chia seeds will clump together and you cannot unclump them.

After about 15 to 20 minutes, when the chia seeds are nice and hydrated, you can start drinking it. The seeds should be floating in the bottle nicely.

Chia seeds are incredibly healthy for you. Drink up!
