    There's just nothing like a glass of lemonade on hot summer days. This Blueberry Lemonade Chia Fresca takes lemonade to a whole new level.

    Sweet blueberries are mixed with lemonade and then chia seeds are added for an energy boost. This refreshing healthy drink will quench your thirst during the hottest months of the year.

    This is perfect for after a workout to help with hydration. Chia seeds add fiber and protein.

    Another lemon chia fresca recipe I made is my Hibiscus Lemonade Chia Fresca.

    If you love blueberry drinks, try my Blueberry Shrub recipe. It's an easy way to make a flavored homemade soda. Just add it to club soda. It's also a great addition to a cocktail.
