Easy Chia Lemonade

I admit, this is not the prettiest looking drink. Okay, okay fine, who am I kidding, this drink is not pretty at all, BUT you have to trust this food-loving friend of yours.
THIS drink is GOOD for you. ♥

This is the first recipe of 2016. I am not counting the Top 10 Favorite Recipes of 2015 apost as that is a compilation of my MOST favorite recipes for 2015. Do check it out though, the recipes are awesome!

Since this is the first official recipe of 2016, I was torn as to which recipe I should be sharing. I have a delicious noodle + soup recipe coming up and there is also something nutella-ish to share, but then I have decided to start with a healthy recipe that would benefit all of us. It seems auspicious to have a clean start to 2016.

All of you would have known by now that CHIA is good for you.
Lemon is also good for you and water? Well it’s a no brainer.  Easy Chia Lemonade

 

I have shared 2 different lemonade recipes prior to this. Both were delicious and pretty.
