Pineapple Chia Smoothie With Herbs image

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.

Categories     breakfast, easy, shakes and smoothies

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 ripe pineapple, cored, skinned and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 heaped cup, or/ 7 ounces)
1 tablespoon soaked chia seeds (1 teaspoon dry unsoaked)
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, soaked overnight in water and drained
1/2 cup carrot juice
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley leaves, firmly packed
4 to 5 fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes

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.

Conclusion:

This chia pineapple smoothie is a delicious and refreshing way to start your day or cool off on a hot afternoon. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's also easy to make. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious smoothie, give this one a try.
