PINEAPPLE CHIA SMOOTHIE WITH HERBS
I love pineapple smoothies. In this one I use carrot juice for the liquid and it works beautifully, as it's neither too sweet nor too acidic.

Steps:
- To soak the chia seeds, place in a jar or bowl and add 4 tablespoons water for every tablespoon of chia seeds. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. The seeds and water will be become gelatinous.
- Scoop up a tablespoon of seeds with the gooey liquid and place in a blender (don't worry, your smoothie won't have this consistency). Add the remaining ingredients and blend for 1 full minute at high speed.
Tips:
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen pineapple or add a scoop of chia seeds to the blender.
- If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before adding it to the blender.
- Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the smoothie for a sweeter flavor.
- If you like a tart smoothie, add a squeeze of lemon juice.
- For a creamy smoothie, add a tablespoon of yogurt or cottage cheese to the blender.
- Serve the smoothie immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later.
