Chia Seed Smoothie Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by placing frozen strawberries and raspberries with a ripe banana and chia seeds into a blender, followed by water. Blending on high speed creates a smooth consistency where the fruit’s sweetness and slight tartness are balanced by the creamy banana. Chia seeds add texture and body as they swell slightly during blending. Topping the smoothie with extra chia seeds and a frozen raspberry before serving adds visual appeal and a bit of contrasting texture.
This smoothie is best consumed right away since chia seeds continue to absorb liquid and thicken the mixture if left standing. It makes for a refreshing breakfast or snack beverage with natural fruit sugars and mild fiber from the seeds.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberry frozen
- 1 cup raspberries frozen
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Place strawberries, raspberries, banana, and chia seeds into your blender.
- Pour in the water and then blend on high speed until smooth.
- If you'd like you can top each glass with a little sprinkle of chia seeds and a frozen raspberry. Serve immediately as the chia seeds will thicken the smoothie if you let it sit.
