Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 medium Frozen banana
• 1 cup Frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 pieces Ice cubes
• 0 n/a Optional toppings: granola, sliced fruit, or a drizzle of honey

Directions

Step 1

Add the chia seeds to the almond milk in a small bowl or cup and let them soak for 5 minutes. This allows the seeds to absorb the liquid and become gel-like, which adds creaminess to the smoothie.

Step 2

In a blender, combine the soaked chia seeds and almond milk, frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.

Step 3

Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

Step 4

Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding an extra teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.

Step 5

Pour the smoothie into a glass and add optional toppings such as granola, sliced fruit, or a drizzle of honey for extra texture and flavor.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious chia smoothie!
