Stay hydrated and healthy with our organic Cocolibre Coconut Water Chia Seed Fresca energy drink that is perfect after a workout, time in the sun or on the go. Chia Fresca is a popular drink in Mexico made with water, chia seeds, lime and a sweetner.
Chia seeds are energy boosting and nutrient dense, containing more Omega-3 fatty acids than flax seed and have the ability to absorb up to 10 x their weight in water so you'll stay hydrated longer. Chia seeds are full of healthy fibre, protein, calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc and many other nutrients that help to stabilize blood sugar levels, for a steady release of energy throughout the day. Take your energy drink in your bkr glass water bottle or drink with a meal, its the perfect post-workout drink or summer beach side sipper.
