Ingredients:
-
One cup of vanilla almond milk, unsweetened
-
One ripe banana
-
One tablespoon of chia seeds
-
One tablespoon of peanut or almond butter
-
One cup of ice
Soak chia seeds at least 10 minutes. You will notice a gel forming around the seed clusters as they start to absorb the liquid surrounding them. This process helps our bodies digest the seeds and absorb the nutrients that they contain. You could also soak the seeds the night before and keep the mixture refrigerated if you are in a hurry.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
