Berry Antioxidant Elixir: A High-Fiber Mocktail

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup raspberries (rich in vitamins, minerals, powerful antioxidants, and fiber)

  • 1 cup blackberries (also packed with vitamins, minerals, powerful antioxidants, and fiber)

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (an excellent source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids)

  • Fresh mint leaves (for a refreshing touch and added antioxidants)

  • 1 lime (packed with vitamin C)

  • 1 tablespoon stevia or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)

  • Sparkling water or club soda

  • Ice cubes

Instructions:

  • In a bowl, muddle the raspberries, blackberries, and the juice of one lime together. Aim to crush the berries to release their juices and unleash their antioxidant powers.

  • Add the chia seeds to the berry mixture and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. The chia seeds will begin to gel, adding thickness and more fiber to the mocktail.

  • In a glass, add a few mint leaves and muddle them slightly to release their flavor and antioxidants.

  • Fill the glass with ice cubes.

  • Pour the berry and chia seed mixture over the ice, filling the glass to about two-thirds full.

  • Add the stevia or monk fruit sweetener and stir well.

  • Top off with sparkling water or club soda, and give it a gentle stir.

  • Garnish with a few fresh berries and a sprig of mint for an extra antioxidant boost.

  • Serve immediately and savor the health benefits in each sip!

This mocktail not only offers a refreshing taste but is also a powerhouse of antioxidants and fiber, making it a healthful choice for those looking to nourish their bodies. Cheers to good health! 🍹🍓🌿
