So fun fact about Katheen today! She comes to the studio with her computer AND a mason jar full of water, lemon, and chia seeds. Yep, you heard right. Today she is telling us why….:)

Water is life-giving. Nourishing. We need it to survive. Over half of our bodies are water – which sounds like craziness. I’m not sure why we don’t melt in the rain.

One of my favorite ways to drink water these days is with a little lemon and chia seeds (okay, a LOT of chia seeds). The chia seeds swell with the water like mini tapioca balls and are so fun to drink. If you like bubble tea, you will love this. I find it super entertaining (hey, it’s the small things, right?) and it is filling so it keeps me from mindlessly snacking all afternoon at the studio.

The lemon adds a nice flavor and while I’ve drank chia seeds without lemon, I can’t say it’s the same. Definitely add the lemon.

Did I mention chia seeds are a super food and are packed full of nutritional goodness? Read more about their health benefits HERE.

Warning: Chia seeds are crazy little guys and like to get stuck in your teeth and show up random places. Sometimes I think they hop out of the water and run around. But don’t let this stop you from making friends with them. The nutritional value is worth it.

So tell us, what do you add to your water?!!
