Equipment

Blender

Ingredients

1 cup Blueberries I used frozen blueberries
1 large Banana I used frozen banana
1 cup Milk I use dairy milk
2 teaspoon Chia seeds
2 Tablespoon Protein powder I use whey protein powder
1 teaspoon Honey optional

Instructions

I use my regular blender or single-serve smoothie blender to make my smoothies.
Combine all the ingredients in the blender jar.
Blend everything well and pour it into a tall glass and enjoy.
If using fresh fruits instead of frozen, add a few ice cubes. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk.

Notes

How to serve?

I love serving the smoothies in tall glasses. When serving for my boys, it is a mason jar or some kind of fancy glass.

We could make the blueberry banana chia smoothie a little thicker and serve it as a smoothie bowl. When serving as a smoothie bowl, I add more fresh fruits and chia seeds on top. I also add granola for texture. My favorite granola is this homemade peanut butter granola.

When on the go, pour the smoothie into a travel mug and add a straw for ease.

Expert Tips

Use frozen fruits if possible for the smoothies.
Mix up the berries for a change in flavor.
We could add yogurt to the smoothies for added probiotics.
Make the banana blueberry smoothie fresh and consume them right away.
