This Creamy Strawberry Chia Seed Smoothie is the Healthy Your Summer Needs!

The strawberry chia smoothie is packed with antioxidants, fiber, great flavor and texture!

Remember the chia plants back in the day? Who knew we were holding one of the most powerful macro nutrients in our hands back then!  These little seeds are packed with protein, a macro nutrient which is essential for helping to repair and rebuild muscles.  In fact, each seed contains about 14% protein.   That’s why bodybuilders love them.  The calorie dense seed is also packed with fiber.  Try mixing them into yogurt, waffle mixes, and overnight oats.  An easy way to use the chia is in a smoothie.   Greg and Audra are mixing up a recipe today using only 6 ingredients for a creamy strawberry smoothie packed with so many good things. Simply blend strawberries, a banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and chia seeds.   Pour into a glass and sprinkle the some Chia on top.  Let those sit for a for few minutes to absorb moisture a fun texture.  It’s the perfect cold and fruity way to start your morning whether you work out or not!
