Ingredients

  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp agave nectar

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a mason jar or large drinking glass and stir well. Let sit for 10-15 minutes so the chia seeds can start to absorb some of the water and gelatinize. Enjoy chilled or with ice!

Notes

  • The longer you let this lemonade sit, the softer the chia seeds will get.  If you don't mind them being a little crunchy, feel free to start drinking right away!
  • Try this recipe out with some lime juice instead of lemon.
  • You can use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh, if desired.  One lemon contains about 2 tbsp of juice.
  • Feel free to substitute honey or your other favorite liquid sweetener instead of agave nectar.
