When you combine it with the extraordinary power of chia seeds, you have a massive energy booster. This sugar-free, fat-free workout beverage, which was inspired by one of my readers, Marie-Guy, will help you maintain your body\u2019s electrolyte balance. It\u2019s low in calories, but rich in vitamins B and C, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and zinc. The chia will also help you replenish minerals you\u2019ve lost during exercise.<\/p>\n<p>You can flavor this basic mixture with a variety of fruits. However, I prefer this alkalizing blend. I find the flavor of ginger too intense for exercising. However, many friends enjoy it in this drink. To get the best consistency, make this a couple of hours before you drink it and let it chill. The chia seeds will swell a bit but won\u2019t thicken the blend to the point of sludge. I drink this when I work out, but also as an all-around health elixir to boost my liver, thyroid, kidney, and gall bladder function. Did I mention its beautifying powers? This is also great for your skin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dubbed \u201cnature\u2019s Gatorade,\u201d coconut water is a natural isotonic drink that contains more electrolytes than most commercial sports drinks.
