Put your “Zoodles” in a large bowl and cut with kitchen scissors or a knife, so they're easier to eat. (Otherwise, you have a 4-foot long zoodle.)

Cherry Chia LimeAde

My daughter and I are super addicted to Chia seed drinks, but they can be rather pricey. So we tried making our own, and it was delicious! However, I tried to skip a step and don’t recommend it. Make your chia gel first, separately!

Ingredients:

4 tbsp chia seeds
1 cup coconut water
1/2 cup frozen cherries
1 tbsp lime juice
1 cup coconut water

To make Chia Gel:

Simply soak the chia seeds in the coconut water for 15-30 minutes. That’s it.

To make Cherry Chia LimeAde:

Combine frozen cherries, lime juice and coconut water in the blender cup and press REFRESHER.
Remove the blades from cup and stir in 1 tbsp chia gel (more or less for desired consistency) and enjoy!

This look like a great device! I have a hand crank one for zoodles and never use it because it's a pain!

Ninja appliances are the Best! WOW, that zoodle salad looks delicious but, I have never heard of zoodle either. Now I want to make my own, this would be great to add to our football party dish.

Jennifer Quillen

I honestly had to ask what a zoodle was! I love our Ninja appliances. Very durable and dependable!

Kristi

That thing is my dream. We don't own a food processor and our blender is horrible. Looks like this could do it all!
