Strawberry-Peach Chia Seed Smoothie

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

This fiber-rich chia smoothie is sweet and tangy with a velvety texture, thanks to nutritious chia seeds that expand as they combine with liquid. Chia seeds have plenty of healthy benefits, from delivering a boost of fiber to providing a dose of heart-healthy fats. We like the combination of strawberries, peaches and cherries, but any sweet and tangy fruit combo will work.

Ingredients:
  • 1⅓ cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup frozen peach slices
  • ½ cup reduced-fat plain strained (greek-style) yogurt
  • ¼ cup pitted dark sweet cherries
  • 3 dried pitted dates
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Directions:
  1. Place 1⅓ cups almond milk, 1 cup strawberries, 1 cup peaches, ½ cup yogurt, ¼ cup cherries, 3 dates and 2 tablespoons chia seeds in a blender. Process until smooth, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the blender as necessary. Divide between 2 glasses and serve immediately.
