TIPS |
- Make sure you soak the chia seeds (as discussed in the previous post).
- To make this smoothie more of a filling meal, you can add in hemp seeds for extra healthy fats (omega-3’s), protein, fiber, and of course many nutrients.
- Or try adding an avocado for a more filling meal (healthy fat, fiber, nutrients galore!) and a creamy texture.
- Use proteins that you enjoy (Vega Sport, whey, casein, egg white, hemp, SunWarrior, brown rice, pea, etc.)
- To give this smoothie a “boost”, add in a little java.
- TIP: Take left over brewed coffee from your morning and pour into an ice-cube tray. Place the ice-cube tray into the freezer for Java Cubes! You can use these in iced coffees or in smoothies.
