Recipe Notes

Blend all the ingredients except for the chia seeds in a blender. Remove the mixture from the blender and add the chia seeds. You may choose to refrigerate it to make it cooler or have it immediately.

When making a smoothie, you may want to add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil for the nutrient and blood sugar stabilizing benefits. You can always substitute spinach, collard greens, chard or any other leafy green for kale.    When you add  organic chia seeds and/or freshly ground flax seeds, you benefit from the additional omega 3 fatty acids and fiber.
