Chia Smoothie

Ingredients:

1 & 1/2 cup milk of choice (soy, rice, almond, hemp etc)
1/8 cup chia seeds
1 cup frozen fruit
Agave nectar or honey for sweetener ( I don't use it, but those who like it sweet can use it)

Mix 1/2 cup milk and chia seeds together. Stir well and let it sit for 20 minutes till it has thickened. This is a great use for leftover cereals like oatmeal or quinoa.

Pour chia mixture into blender, followed by frozen fruit and 1 cup of milk.

Blend blend blend and voila.

Hope you enjoy this quick breakfast.

Avocado Smoothie

I first got hooked on these shakes a couple years ago. They were always my before hot yoga meal. I later found them to be a quick and easy meal replacement when I'm on the go. They are also very easy to make.

Here's what you need:

1 small ripe avocado or 1/2 large ripe avocado, pitted and skinned
1 to 1-1/2 cups of milk, soy, rice or coconut milk
2 tbsps of honey or agave nectar or use 1/2 a ripe banana

Blend all ingredients together in a blender. Add more milk if you prefer it runnier. Blend till smooth and serve immediately.

Cheers
