Have you ever tried a chia drink? It’s probably an acquired taste but they are yummy and filling.  A couple weeks ago I made a Thai tea chia drink and today I’m bringing you this sugar free raspberry lemonade chia drink.

Are Chia Drinks Good For You?

First of all chia seeds are very nutritious. They are rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fat and high in fiber.  Some claim chia seeds are good for weight loss, bone health and for reducing inflammation.  I just like them for the texture personally but you can learn more about the health benefits of chia seeds from Healthline.com

Many people, myself included, like to use chia seeds  for low carb recipes such as smoothies and even breakfast puddings.  Breakfast chia pudding are high in protein, low in carbs and a great way to start your day. 

Sugar Free Chia Drink Ingredients

For this low carb chia drink recipe you need of course chia seeds, lemon juice, Swerve sweetener, raspberry extract and Torani sugar free raspberry syrup. I have a few other suggestions below if you don’t have these items so read on for that. 

Note I used fresh lemons and raspberries merely as garnish and decoration only. You can certainly use fresh squeezed lemon juice but I used the bottle kind because it has no carbs and I was ultimately trying to keep the carbs down.

Step 1: First make your sugar free raspberry lemonade

To make the lemonade I mix bottled lemon juice with water, Swerve sweetener, raspberry extract and Torani sugar free raspberry syrup. Bot the extract and sugar free syrup really gave it a good raspberry taste without any sugar. 

Mix all of these together pour into a jar. 

Step 2: Then add the chia seeds

Stir in your chia seeds and refrigerate for a couple hours to plump up and absorb some of the liquid. I like to give them a stir every time I open the refrigerator to make sure they don’t clump.

Other Ways To Make This Lemonade Chia Drink

There are other ways you can get this raspberry lemon flavor.

• Use fresh squeezed lemon juice instead of bottled though there will be a few more carbs.
• If you don’t have raspberry extract just use the Torani sugar free raspberry syrup.
• If you don’t have Torani sugar free raspberry syrup you can just raspberry extract and add a bit more sweetener.
• You don’t have to use Swerve confectioners sweetener, you can use whatever sweetener you wish.
• If you really want a short cut just use some sugar free raspberry lemonade drink mix!

This would go great with my friend Sara’s keto raspberry cake bars.
