Equipment

  • 1 blender

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup almond milk - unsweetened
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ¾ cup mixed berries - frozen
  • ½ banana - sliced and frozen--about ⅓ cup
  • granola and berries - optional topping

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the ingredients to a blender (except for the topping).
  • Pulse a few times and then blend on high speed until smooth.
  • Let the chia seeds soak in the smoothie for about 15 to 20 minutes so that they have some time to expand.
  • Transfer to a glass. Top with granola and more berries, if desired.
  • Serve!

Notes

  • You can find raw chia seeds in the natural section of the grocery store.
  • I like to use 1 to 2 tablespoons of chia seeds per every 1 ½ cups (or 12 ounces) smoothie.
  • If you prefer, you can let the chia seeds soak before adding them to the smoothie. Just soak them in warm water for 15 to 30 minutes, until they gel, and then add them to the smoothie after it’s been blended.
