Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 8 drops liquid stevia
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 slices lemon slices
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds and water. Stir them together to ensure all seeds are evenly submerged, and let them sit for 5-10 minutes until the seeds swell and form a gel-like consistency.
While the chia seeds are soaking, prepare the other ingredients. In a pitcher, combine the unsweetened almond milk, fresh lemon juice, and liquid stevia. Stir well to mix the flavors together.
Once the chia seeds have absorbed the water, stir them again to break any clumps and then add the chia mixture to the pitcher with the almond milk blend. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
Tear the fresh mint leaves to release their aroma, and add them to the pitcher.
Add the ice cubes and gently stir the drink to chill.
Divide the chia seed drink into two glasses or cups. Garnish each with a lemon slice for presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, low-carb, and nutrient-packed chia seed drink.
