Quench your thirst with this naturally sweetened perpetual citrus green tea over and over again. Make it once and reuse the ingredients up to 4 times with great taste.

Recently I updated one of my first post for fruity chia tea drink I made. I did that because I spotted a full bag of chia seeds that I wanted to use. Anyway, the drink was so good that it reminded me how much I like chia seeds. I also had some cold brew coffee in the fridge and a good low carb protein powder and so I made this low carb chia breakfast pudding.
