Green smoothies are wonderful… and the only way I can get my hubby to eat kale. This smoothie is the perfect snack or after dinner dessert that you won’t feel guilty about! No added sugar and it is packed with healthy ingredients like chia seeds, bananas, blueberries, and kale! The best part is your kids (or husband) will have no idea they are eating kale!
Organic Raw Chia Seeds
: rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium. Buy here or here
Kale: is the super vegetable! It is high in vitamins (A, C & K), minerals (especially calcium), and fiber. It is also high in antioxidants: carotenoids and flavonoids (help prevent cancer), and lutein and zeaxanthin (help promote eye health). Kale has also been shown to reduce cholesterol and prevent heart disease!
Blueberries: Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants to help prevent cancer! They have also been shown to help improve memory and revive your skin!

Are the chia seeds raw or soaked.
Raw. Just toss them in before you blend!
I made this yesterday, but used strawberries since I was out of blueberries. It was delicious (albeit beige in color since the strawberries couldn’t overcome the green kale). My kids love smoothies, so I’m glad I can sneak in things like spinach and kale!
Cool site Amy!! Who knew? Lol
