Cantaloupe Chia Agua Fresca

Because we believe you can do anything you set your mind to, we'll admit to having mixed feelings about this juicy, orange melon being called a "cantaloupe" instead of a CANaloupe, but we digress.  It's an absolutely bright and delightful base to this Cantaloupe Chia Agua Fresca! Just add a little water, lime, chia, maple syrup and soon enough you'll be slurping and saying "fresc-aah."
