I don't know about you, but I just love smoothies. They're not only delicious but they're great for you too. As long as you make them with the right ingredients! My roommates and I love making smoothies after a hard workout. It gives us a boost in energy and isn't something thats really heavy, if you know what I mean. Often, we'll add some protein to it to give it a little extra boost.
Our favorite is the one pictured above. In it we put: Strawberries, blueberries, bananas, spinach, Greek honey yogurt, ice cubes, and Chia powder. We just put in ingredients until it tastes good, which is almost always first try. How can you go wrong with fruit?
Chia powder comes from chia seeds and is great for athletes. It's a great source of Omega 3 oils and Omega 6 oils, and provides antioxidant activity. For a more detailed explanation of the health benefits of Chia seeds go here.

Make sure as you're going through you're day, that you're fueling yourself with foods that will help your body! Make one change today in what you eat, that will help you in the long run. Its your choices, and your results that you live with.
Have a healthy day!
