Pink Salt Hydration + Fiber Drink

Table of Contents

A refreshing, fiber-boosting, electrolyte-rich drink inspired by Mediterranean flavors. It’s perfect for mornings, workouts, or anytime you need gentle hydration with natural fullness. This recipe uses clean ingredients like citrus, chia seeds, mint, and pomegranate for a wellness-focused refreshment.

Ingredients (1 Large Glass)

Base

  • 1 ½ cups cold water
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime or orange juice
  • ⅛ tsp pink Himalayan salt (very small amount — enough for electrolytes)

Mediterranean Add-Ins

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp raw honey (optional)
  • 2–3 fresh mint leaves
  • A few cucumber slices (optional, cooling)

Optional Boosters

  • 1–2 tbsp pomegranate juice (rich antioxidants)
  • ¼ tsp freshly grated ginger
  • ½–1 tsp apple cider vinegar (only if you enjoy tangy flavors)

🥤 Instructions (Detailed)

  1. Start with the base:
    Add cold water to a large glass or jar. Mix in lemon juice, lime/orange juice, and pink salt. Stir well until the salt dissolves completely.
  2. Add chia seeds properly:
    Sprinkle chia seeds slowly while stirring to prevent clumping. Let the drink rest for 5–10 minutes so the chia can absorb liquid and form a gel-like texture.
  3. Layer flavors:
    Add mint leaves and cucumber slices to bring that cooling Mediterranean aroma. Stir again to distribute the seeds.
  4. Sweeten and boost:
    Add honey if you prefer a lightly sweet drink. If using pomegranate juice, ginger, or apple cider vinegar, mix them in now.
  5. Final stir + serve:
    Give one last good mix. Add ice if you want it extra cold. Drink immediately or let the chia fully expand for a thicker, more filling texture.
