For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 100 grams hulled and chopped strawberries
• 100 grams peeled and chopped mango
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

• In a blender, combine the chopped strawberries, mango, coconut water (or plain water), lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
• Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and stir in the chia seeds. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some liquid and swell.
