Coconut Lime Chia Fresca
I love how refreshing and hydrating this drink is, especially on warm days. The combination of coconut and lime is just so uplifting!
This Coconut Lime Chia Fresca is one of those drinks that brings back memories of summer afternoons spent lounging in my garden.
I remember the first time I tried it at a little café by the beach, and I knew I had to recreate it at home.
The chia seeds give it a fun texture, and the lime adds a zesty kick that I just can’t resist.
Plus, it’s so simple to whip up!
My tip?
Let it sit for a bit to let those chia seeds do their magic and thicken up nicely.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Chia seeds are not just fun to eat, they’re packed with omega-3s and fiber! If you don't have coconut water, you can use regular water, but it won’t have that tropical vibe. And if you're not a fan of maple syrup, agave or a touch of sugar works too.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep mine in a glass jar in the fridge; it stays fresh for a couple of days, and the flavors get even better.
- •If you want to boost the nutrition, try adding a handful of spinach before blending for a green twist!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a handful of fresh mint for an extra refreshing twist.
- •You can also swap out the lime for lemon if you want to change things up a bit.
Storage & Freezing
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before drinking, as the chia seeds will settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use another type of sweetener?
Absolutely! Feel free to swap in agave syrup or even a few dates blended in for a natural sweetness.
