Ingredients

1 cup chopped strawberries
4 cups water (or do a half-and-half mix of coconut water and water--see notes)
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon rosewater

Instructions

Combine the strawberries and water in an upright blender. Blend on high until liquified. Run the strawberry water through a fine mesh sieve, pressing through with a spatula. Discard solids and seeds.
In a pitcher combine the strawberry water and the chia seeds. Whisk to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the chia seeds to gel in the chia fresca.
Once ready to drink, give the chia fresca a light whisk. Then, stir in the lemon juice and rosewater. Serve with additional wedges of lemon and ice if you like.

Recipe Notes

I made up half of the water with coconut water so that I didn't have to sweeten this drink with any additional ingredients. If you decide to go with all water, I'd recommend a little drizzle of agave nectar or maple syrup to really bring out that nectar-like strawberry flavour :)

Pretty and thirst-quenching, this chia fresca recipe has strawberry, rosewater, and lemon for tons of refreshing flavor. This easy recipe takes just a few minutes of prep before the drink sits to allow the chia seeds to gel. It’s perfect for warm summer days on the patio or as a post-workout refreshment.
