Strawberry Banana Chia Green Smoothie


I decided it's time to get back into drinking Green Smoothies.  Green Smoothies are great for helping you with weight loss, adding vegetables and fruits into your diet, they are full of antioxidants, they increase your energy and lower your cravings for junk food.  Oh, did I mention they also taste amazing?  And you can pretty much make a smoothie anyway you want!  There are literally endless possibilities.

Today's Green Smoothie is very simple, just a handful of spinach, frozen strawberries & bananas, chia gel and I used coconut water and a splash of almond milk.  You do not need ice when you use frozen fruits but if you are using all fresh fruits, I recommend adding a few ice cubes.

To make the Chia gel, I took 1 TB of chia seeds and let them in soak in 1/4 cup of water until they became gel.  

Blend everything up, and enjoy!
