Eating healthier has been one of my main goals this past year and by eating, I mean drinking too. Long gone are my soda days and now I’m relying on fruit smoothies and trying out weird-crazy-healthy-i-don’t-really-know-what-madness-this-is recipies from health blogs since I’m not a fan of plain old water. With that being said, lemons and texture-y drinks are my favorites so this recipe I’m sharing today has the best of everything.
Chia Fresca is a natural, supposedly energy boosting drink consisting of water, chia seeds, and lemon juice. It’s been very popular in Central America and Mexico over the years and is very hydrating. I should warn you though, this is one of those drinks you get stares from strangers when you take it out with you. Not in a bad way of course, but I originally thought these look like ants. Have I scared you away yet? Anyhow, I absolutely love the taste and texture of this drink, just a hint of lemon and gel like seeds. It’s so refreshing, you’ll have to try it out for yourself! :) Here’s the recipe:
As promised, here are the photos I took in Carmel, formally “Carmel by the Sea,” a couple weeks ago. This is probably my favorite shoot ever yet, and the long drive was worth a single photo, let alone so many!
