Low Sugar Strawberry Smoothie

When you have organic strawberries, you can blend them directly into this Low Sugar Strawberry Smoothie without removing the green stems- talk about a time-saver!  This chia seeds thicken the longer they sit in the smoothie, ensuring a thick and luscious drink.  No watered down or icy consistency here. 


Ingredients


What (your ingredients):


1 cup organic strawberries


½ cup frozen banana


1 cup unsweetened almond milk


 


1 tablespoon chia seeds


Directions


How (your directions):


In a highspeed blender, blend strawberries, banana, and almond milk.


Pour into a cup, then stir in chia seeds.


Enjoy immediately, take on the go, or save for later!


 


Why (the science):  Chia seeds are fiber powerhouses, which means they slow the rate of digestion.  No sugar highs and crashes, just a slow release of refreshing energy!  This Low Sugar Strawberry Smoothie is also made with unsweetened almond milk instead of juice, which helps cut down on a lot of sugar, too.
