The product categories featured in the Clean Choice Awards include: breakfast picks, pantry staples, drinks, spices, supplements, super time-savers, dairy and dairy-free alternatives, household goods, snacks, sauces and condiments, baking, best butters, sweeteners, and pets.

Within the chia seed drink category, Drink Chia! has the lowest calories (50), fat (2g), sugar (5g), and total carbs (9g) per serving (10oz). Drink Chia comes in 4 delicious flavors – Strawberry Citrus, Honeysuckle Pear, Mango Tangerine, and Blueberry Lemon. It is packaged in highly portable, recycled PET plastic bottles – so it’s convenient to take to the gym, the beach, or wherever life takes you!

This is not the first time our chia seed drink has been recognized by Clean Eating Magazine. Drink Chia! was featured in the November/December issue as a superfood-fueled top pick. The April/May issue of Clean Eating Magazine is on newsstands now, so go pick one up and turn to page 65 to see why our chia seed drink was chosen as the new sports drink for those who want to live a clean eating lifestyle.

Well, we’ve tried it and it’s not bad at all. In fact, Drink Chia makes a pretty good pre-workout beverage. Because chia seeds absorb about 10 times their weight in water, getting your fix in this form can help you stay hydrated longer.

Check out the article to see what they have to say about Drink Chia! and the health benefits of chia seeds.

A Healthy Sports Drink Made With Chia Seeds. Fox Business’s Gabrielle Karol gets with Drink Chia! for an interview.

Founder Chandra Davis calls Drink Chia an “accidental business” born out of her desire to find a low-calorie, healthy sports drink when training for her first marathon.

“I wanted to pay more attention to hydration. Chia seeds kept popping up in what I was reading — it was called the running food. I found out that it could be made into a beverage,” she says, and became hooked on the seeds.

If you think the lip-smacking, thirst-quenching taste of a cold Drink Chia! couldn’t get any better – well, we’ve got good news for you. It just did. Not only that, but there is now MORE of it.

That’s right – we’re shaking things up and giving you more chia drink deliciousness by bumping our bottle size up from 8-ounces to 10-ounces. We also made a slight tweak to our formula by incorporating the super-smooth natural sweetness of Monk Fruit. The best part is that these changes come at no additional cost to you.

The new 10-ounce bottle size means that you get even more chia seeds nutrition in every serving. Our new and improved chia drink packs in 1,100mg of heart healthy omega-3, plus 130% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Niacin, and Zinc.

At just 50 calories and 5 grams of sugar per bottle, Drink Chia! contains less than half the calories and sugar of the leading chia drink on the market. That makes it the ideal choice for those who live a healthy, active lifestyle.

Bigger really is better

So why did we make the change from 8-ounces to 10-ounces?  Well, a scientific study revealed that 9 out of 10 people had more fun shaking up a larger bottle – and who are we to ignore science?

Just kidding, of course. The real reason is simple – we listened to you, our fans. We heard that you wanted more of the hydrating power of Drink Chia! to take on camping trips and to the yoga studio, so we delivered. It’s all about providing a greater value.

What the heck is Monk Fruit, anyway?

Good question! Monk Fruit, or Siraitia grosvenorii for the fancy crowd, is a fruit native to Southeast Asia that contains natural antioxidants with a sweet, delicious taste. We decided to pair monk fruit extract with organic stevia and organic cane juice to naturally sweeten Drink Chia! while drastically reducing its sugar content. It’s all about creating healthy, delicious, low-calorie and low-sugar choices!

What are you waiting for? Go shake up your life!

The new and improved Drink Chia! is more than just a bigger, better version of its former self. It’s a metaphor for your life. It’s a call to action for you to go out and make each day bigger and better than the last. Life is short, so go out and shake it up!  We’ll be here doing the same.

Shake up your life…Shake up the planet…Just shake it, baby!

I’ve had chia seeds in my smoothies, but this was my first time having them in a lighter drink… and I loved it!

Check out her review to see what she has to say about our delicious chia seeds beverage!

Heart health is one of our greatest national concerns. Heart disease accounts for approximately 600,000 deaths in the United States each year. Despite improving health education and consumer awareness, heart disease remains a potentially lethal threat that many Americans face.

Though genetics are a major factor in heart disease, and one that we cannot control, there are preventative measures that we can take to help reduce our risk of heart disease. Chief among these are exercise and diet. By engaging in cardiovascular exercise and eating a healthy, balanced diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, we can really help reduce the risk.

We all recognize the ‘heart healthy’ logos that dot the labels on grocery store shelves. We also know that fruits, vegetables, and fish are great food options for heart health. But far too often, we get distracted by less-healthy foods at the office, on our daily commute, or where we eat out. When convenience trumps sensibility, our diets go off track – and heart health takes a back seat.

This was a major motivating factor when we developed the recipe for our chia seed superfood drink – Drink Chia! We wanted an easy and convenient way for people to incorporate more omega-3 fatty acids into their diets. We knew it had to be something that tasted good and could be taken on-the-go. We also wanted it to be something that goes hand in hand with a healthy, active lifestyle. We think we nailed it.

Let’s face it, while salmon is an excellent source of omega-3, it isn’t exactly a convenient meal option at most times in your busy day. Oatmeal provides heart-healthy fiber, and is more accessible, but the majority of convenient options are loaded with processed sugars that bring their own health issues. Drink Chia! solves both of those problems in one tasty, convenient package. It’s one of the easiest ways to get your daily serving of omega-3s and fiber, without the hassle or excess calories.

So that’s it folks – there are no excuses for you to ignore your heart health. We encourage everyone reading this to get out, get active, and shake it, baby! Make Drink Chia! a part of your healthy, balanced diet, and start helping out your heart with healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Your heart will thank you!
