Chia Seeds Drinks Sugary Treats

Banana, Strawberry & Chia Seeds Smoothie

Beginning from the past weekend, I have been making banana smoothie for breakfast. I am trying to take breakfast seriously and this super easy and fruit laden smoothie has been a great motivator. It is surprisingly filling and I have been feeling a bit more energetic than usual ever since (perhaps it’s psychological hehe!).

The beauty of homemade smoothie is that it can be jam-packed with fruits. I sometimes find smoothies from the shops do not contain as much fruits as I would like. They tend to be heavier on the fruit juices, sorbet and yoghurt which can be a wee bit too sweet. Having said that, I did enjoy my fair share of adding sorbet and flavoured yogurt in my smoothie. Whoops!

Since this is my breakfast smoothie, I want to keep it simple and as wholesome as possible. For a start I remove the sorbet from the equation as I wonder how others feel about me starting the day with sorbet in my smoothie. 😛

Banana, Strawberry & Chia Seeds Smoothie

Makes about 300ml/10 fluid ounces – about 2 short glasses

What you’ll need:-

  • 2 bananas, peeled & sliced
  • 6 fairly large strawberries (almost 200g/7 ounces), hulled and diced
  • 1 cup low fat milk or soy milk
  • 2 tbsps Greek yogurt (vanilla flavoured is preferred)
  • 2 tsps chia seeds as toppings

Equipment – a stick blender + a large tumbler or bottle

(1) Hull and dice strawberries. Add to a large tumbler. (2) Peel and slice bananas and add to the tumbler. (3) Then add milk and yoghurt with the bananas and strawberries. (4) Blend until smooth. Transfer to 2 glasses and top with chia seeds. Serve immediately.

    Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment
    (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips and hints for inexperienced blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

    Is it better to soak the chai seeds before use? Thanks.

      Hi Rolando, there is no need to soak the chia seeds as I used it as a topping for added wholesomeness to the smoothie.
