Banana Wild Blueberry Smoothie With Chia Seeds image

Because I use frozen organic wild blueberries for this, I don't need to add any ice cubes. You'll need to soak the chia seeds for several hours or overnight.

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon soaked chia seeds (1 teaspoon dry unsoaked)
1 small banana (about 4 ounces without the skin)
1/2 cup frozen organic wild blueberries
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon honey

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.

This smoothie is a great way to use up ripe bananas. I always have a few bananas that are about to go bad, so this is a perfect recipe to use them up.

This smoothie was a bit too thick for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference.

I'm not usually a fan of smoothies, but this one was really good. The flavors were well-balanced and it wasn't too sweet.
