How to Make Chia Smoothie

  1. Prepare the chia gel: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and 2 cups of water. Stir well and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in the refrigerator until it forms a thick gel.
  2. Combine ingredients: Add 1 cup of your favorite fruit (berries, banana, mango, etc.), 1/2 cup of chia gel, 1/2 cup of green tea (or herbal tea of your choice), and 1/2 cup of ice cubes to a blender.
  3. Blend: Blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Adjust sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add honey to your liking, starting with 1 tablespoon and adding more until you reach your desired sweetness level.
  5. Serve: Pour into a glass, add a straw, and enjoy your healthy and delicious chia smoothie immediately!
