I wanted to come back with a bang after being gone for a while. I was dreaming about making a pie with some local rhubarb I found last week. But, life happened as it usually does. I made jam with the rhubarb instead of pie, a storm came and knocked out my power, and a gigantic mountain of laundry had to be tackled. So, I’m here instead to share something super refreshing and healthy as you prepare for whatever fun shenanigans you have planned for the holiday weekend.
Summer crept up on me here, as it normally does. We went from pleasant weather to 90 degrees without any transition. I guess it always happens that way ever summer, but I never seem to be ready for it. When the weather heats up, I drink a lot more liquids to stay hydrated. Since water can be a bit boring (and because I usually forget to fill up my brita pitcher), I decided to make some chia lemonade. I’ve had chia seeds in my kombucha so I thought why not add them to my lemonade. They are rich in omega-3’s as well as fiber, protein, calcium, and other nutrients your body needs. And, they are awesome to add to drinks in the summer because their ability to absorb almost 10 times their body weight in water helps to hydrate your body. Yay for chia seeds!
