I've become a bit bored with the smoothies I've been making. I checked out what I had in my cabinets and searched around for some new ideas and voila, (thanks Pinterest!) I found loads of recipes. I found a bunch that included chia seeds and thought that sounded interesting -adding a bit of crunch to a smoothie. I gathered what I had in my fridge and cabinets (another reason I like smoothies- endless combinations, just need a bit of inspiration sometimes) and decided on a strawberry, ginger, chia seed concoction. I like ginger because t's a natural digestive aid and chia seeds are packed protein and Omega-3s - a perfect morning boost, in my opininon :)
Here's what I created - the Good Morning Chia Ginger Smoothie
1 cup almond milk
1 banana
1 cup berries (I used strawberries & raspberries; use both, one or add blueberries!)
1 tbsp Chia seeds
1 inch fresh ginger
2 shakes cinnamon (who really measures that anyways!?)
A handful of ice
Blend up, pour and enjoy!
