Ingredients
Smoothie
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 avocado(s)
- 1 banana fresh or frozen
- 1 date pitted (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. cacao powder
- 1 Tbsp. almond butter
- 1 cup ice or more as needed for desired consistency
Optional Toppings
Instructions
- First, add water and chia to the blender, so it has a minute or two to soak while you prepare and add the other ingredients.
- Blend on high until smooth. The avocado and chia gives it a thick, spoonable consistency (perfect to turn into a smoothie bowl). If you prefer a thinner consistency, simply add more cold water or ice.
- Top with coconut, cacao nibs, or sliced almonds, if you desire.
- Sip and savor slowly.
Recipe Notes
*You can speed up your time here by making chia gel in advance. It's a great idea to make a large batch so you always have some on hand for your morning smoothies. It should last in an airtight container like a mason jar in your fridge for at least one week.
