Cantaloupe-Lime Agua Fresca With Chia Seeds image

A light, refreshing blender drink that is sweet and a little bit tart. Although I make this in a blender, I think it qualifies as an agua fresca rather than a smoothie, as it is made with pure fruit, enriched with a spoonful of soaked chia seeds. The flavor of the drink will only be as good as your melon, so seek out the best cantaloupe, or other sweet orange melon, you can find. I don't add sweetener to the drink, but you can if you think it needs a little something.

This recipe is just too complicated. I don't have time for all these steps.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my agua fresca turned out really bitter. I think I might have used too much lime juice.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my agua fresca turned out too watery. I think I'll use less water next time.

This recipe is a little too sweet for my taste. I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of chia seeds, so I just left them out of the recipe. It was still delicious.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I can make it ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for a few days, or I can make it fresh right before serving.
