Fantastic Food Friday

We have sung the praises of chia seeds before, but maybe you're wondering how to eat them -- and like it!  How does an exotic tropical chia smoothie sound?  With all of its delicious fruit flavors and the natural chia energy boost, I almost felt like I was someplace tropical after trying this fantastic smoothie.





Tropical Chia Smoothie

3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk (the beverage next to the soy milk, not the canned kind)
1 cup frozen mango pieces
1 cup frozen pineapple pieces
1 banana
1 tablespoon chia seeds

Pour coconut milk into a blender. Add mango, pineapple, and banana. Blend until smooth. Blend in chia seeds quickly. Enjoy right away, as chia seeds become gelatinous once they are wet. Pin It
