Creator of the first ready-to-drink chia beverage is adding Ginger Lime, Blueberry Pomegranate and the first-ever chia-based Lemon Iced Tea to its pioneering line of Chia Vitality Beverages

CARLSBAD, Calif. (March 9, 2017) – Mamma Chia is introducing three new flavors to its Chia Vitality Beverage line, which originally disrupted the beverage aisle in 2009 by establishing an entirely new category of healthy drinks. The new flavors include Ginger Lime, Blueberry Pomegranate, and Lemon Iced Tea.

Lemon Iced Tea is the first chia-based iced tea on the market, and Mamma Chia’s first beverage that incorporates tea. The beloved taste of Lemon Iced Tea infuses tangy lemons with smooth black tea and a hint of sweetness. The bold flavor of Ginger Lime delivers a revitalizing burst of lime coupled with a zesty kick of ginger; while the sweet blend of Blueberry Pomegranate intertwines blueberries with rich pomegranate juice to create a true symphony of flavor that is sure to seed your soul.

The new uplifting flavors, along with all Chia Vitality Beverages, feature nutrient-rich organic chia seeds infused with organic fruit juices, resulting in a delicious, satisfying and refreshing drink. Chia seeds, when combined with water or juices, expand to 12 times their size, creating a delightfully distinct texture that has established a loyal following of Mamma Chia lovers.

Lightly sweetened with organic agave nectar, every bottle of Mamma Chia’s organic Chia Vitality Beverages is packed with 2,500mg of Omega-3s, 25 percent of daily fiber, four grams of complete protein and 95mg of calcium, plus valuable minerals. All of Mamma Chia’s products are non-GMO, gluten-free, kosher and USDA Certified Organic.

“Mamma Chia fans are going to really enjoy the refreshing new Chia Vitality Beverages as they each combine beloved flavors with soul-inspiring chia goodness in every bottle,” said Janie Hoffman, Mamma Chia Founder and CEO. “We are very proud of all of these new flavor additions, especially Lemon Iced Tea, which takes a fun twist on a cherished classic beverage.”

The new flavors join the existing line-up of Blackberry Hibiscus, Cherry Lime, Coconut Mango, Cranberry Lemonade, Guava Mamma, Raspberry Passion and Strawberry Lemonade. Mamma Chia’s Ginger Lime, Blueberry Pomegranate and Lemon Iced Tea flavors will be available in stores in mid-2017.
