Chia seeds are the super healthy seeds native to South America. They are packed with nutrients and fibers. These seeds are great for weight loss too.

I love to add them to desserts and drinks. So why not summer coolers?

Here are 3 very refreshing summer drinks that I have made with a few syrups and squash that I had at home. Mixing up flavours to create new ones can be an interesting affair. So, don’t shy away from trying out new combinations on your own.
