A GREAT WAY TO START YOUR DAY
Chia lemonade
1-2 tablespoons whole raw
1-2 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice
In a large glass of water
Why Chia? These seeds have been used for thousands of years and are an excellent source of protein as well as omega fatty acids. Chia is also chalked full of valuable minerals and vitamins and most importantly an excellent source of fibre. Fibre helps decrease blood sugar spikes and is extremely important for detoxification and proper bowel movements.
Why lemon juice? Fresh squeezed lemon juice is a great source of antioxidants including but not limited to vitamin C. Lemons stimulate the stomach to produce hydrochloric acid which is needed for proper metabolism of protein and is also imperative for the production of intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is needed to assimilate B12 in the body which is extremely important to prevent fatigue and depression. Lastly lemons although acidic have a polar effect and actually help keep the body in a more alkaline state which is important for the prevention of many disorders and disease.
There are two ways to enjoy this drink: #1. You can add the ingredients and drink immediately if you enjoy the crunchy taste of the seeds or #2. You can add the ingredients and allow to sit for 20 minutes, this will give the chia seeds time to absorb the water and become very soft (my favorite).
