Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 medium Orange
- 1 medium Lemon
- 1 medium Lime
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseeds
- 6 fresh Mint leaves
Instructions
Step 1: Begin by slicing the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds. Remove any seeds to prevent bitterness.
Step 2: In a large pitcher, combine the 4 cups of water with the sliced citrus fruits.
Step 3: Crush the mint leaves gently in your hands to release their essential oils, then add them to the pitcher.
Step 4: Stir in the chia seeds and flaxseeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5: Allow the mixture to sit for at least 20 minutes. This will enable the flavors to infuse and the seeds to hydrate, softening and creating a slightly gelatinous texture.

Step 7: Serve the citrus chia and flaxseed infused water over ice if desired. Enjoy this refreshing low sodium beverage throughout the day.
