Raspberry Lime Chia Fresca Drink Recipe Flavor

Unlike my Blueberry Chia Fizz drink recipe, this one uses muddled fruit. I did this on purpose because it’s much faster to put together this way. And is more easily achievable if you’re looking to make a drink for one or two people only. I find the blueberry syrup is only worth it if you want to make a pitcher for you and some friends.

So anywho, you can make this drink pretty fast, but it won’t have as strong a flavor as it would if you made a fruit-infused simple syrup. I don’t know about you, but some days, this is preferred.

Raspberry Lime Chia Fresca Mocktail Ingredients

Chia Seeds – Fun and Good for You

The only thing that really slows this Raspberry Lime Chia Fresca Drink Recipe down is soaking the chia seeds. But you’ll be rewarded when they plump up nicely. They’re more fun to drink this way.

According to this article by Dr. Weil:

Chia seeds provide fiber (25 grams give you 6.9 grams of fiber) as well as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, molybdenum, niacin, and zinc.

Raspberries

Raspberries add a bright, summer flavor to this easy mocktail recipe. I love how raspberries are such a versatile ingredient. They can be added to overnight oats, cakes, muffins, smoothies & smoothie bowls, and of course drinks like this one.

Did I mention they’re super good for you too?

Raspberries are low in sugar and calories while also being high in nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants. They are a good source of vitamin C and manganese and contain small amounts of many other nutrients, including vitamin K, vitamin E, B vitamins, and iron.

Muddling Tool

By the way, I used a fork to muddle my drink, but I think a muddler would have been better. I just ordered this cocktail muddler (with mixing spoon) from Amazon and plan to use it in the future. It should be especially good for recipes where you need to muddle mint.

Raspberry Lime Chia Fizz Drink Recipe

  • Prep Time: 15 mins
  • Total Time: 15 mins
  • Yield: 1 1x

Description

This refreshing Raspberry Lime Chia Fizz Drink recipe is so fast and easy. It’s perfect for a hot summer day when you want something more special than plain water that’s still healthy. I like mine lightly sweetened, but feel free to add more honey/sweetener to your taste preference.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey (or other liquid sweetener, like agave or simple syrup – sub either to keep this vegan)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (plus one for garnish, optional)
  • 1 lime, cut into quarters (save one slice for garnish, optional)
  • 1 8.45 fluid ounce chilled San Pellegrino (or other sparking water)
  • ice
  • mint, optional

Instructions

  1. Whisk water and honey together in a large cup. Stir in chia seeds and set in fridge for at least ten minutes so chia seeds can soak up some of the liquid.
  2. Add raspberries and lime to the cup. Muddle with a muddler tool or use the back of a fork.
  3. Pour in San Pellegrino. Add ice. Add garnish, if using. Enjoy!
