This Blueberry Chia Smoothie is cooling and refreshing. Creamy, thick, and super sweet. It's packed with fruity freshness and wonderful flavors. It's also very nutritious, loaded with superfoods, and has no added sugars. Great breakfast option or afternoon energizing drink.
Add all ingredients in the blender. Note: add wet ingredients first for easier blending.
Mix everything at high speed until you get a smooth silky texture.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid – milk or water. Blend again until everything is well combined.
Taste the smoothie and add additional sweetener if the smoothie is not sweet enough to your taste. (See "Recipe tips" section for sweetener recommendation)
Transfer the smoothie into a smoothie glass.
Add toppings if desired. Be creative.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Makes 1 serving that serves 1 person as a full meal, or 2 servings as a snack.As a measure, I used US cup (240ml). Nutrition values are calculated without added toppings.Substitutions
You can use any plant-based milk here except coconut milk. Coconut milk won't work well here. Cow's milk is fine.
Substitute chia seeds with hemp seeds or ground flax seeds.
Substitute Greek-style yogurt with any kind of yogurt. Cottage cheese works well here too.
Store in a glass jar with a lid or shaker and keep refrigerated for up to one day.
