Servings: 2 servings (2 cups each)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut water
  • ¼ cup chia seeds I like the Prana brand
  • 3 cups water
  • ½ cup frozen raspberries
  • 3 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  • Mix the coconut water and chia seeds together. Leave for 10 minutes to allow the mixture to thicken.
  • Add the chia & coconut water mixture to a large blender. Add all the remaining ingredients and blend until well combined, about 30 seconds. The chia seeds will still be visible, which is normal. Pour into 2 equal portions and enjoy!

Notes

Storage – this recipe is best immediately and won’t keep fresh for very long. In an airtight container, you can store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Chill out - If you want a colder drink, add 2-3 ice cubes during the blending process or throw them in after you've poured it in a glass. 
Sweeten it up – If you’re looking for something a bit sweeter, feel free to add your favourite low FODMAP sweetener like maple syrup or a bit of table sugar. I’d suggest limiting to about 1-2 tablespoons, as the raspberries also offer a bit of sweetness too!
1 serving = approximately 2 cups
