 Happy Summer-Time!  Finally!  WootWoot!!!

Need to cool down after a tough workout or a hot day at the beach?  

Affiliate links are used in this post with products I truly love that I use and recommend –you might love them too! This is not a sponsored post and all opinions are my own. xoxo

This luscious, healthy smoothie is made with fresh raspberries, frozen banana, protein and immune-boosting Greek yogurt, chia seeds and dark chocolate almond milk is calling your name!  

Did you even know we had dark chocolate almond milk?  Well we do!! This Silk Almond Milk is only 100 calories per cup and it’s super delicious!  Especially in smoothies! 

We drink almond milk all the time. I started drinking it about 10 years ago.  My husband can’t have dairy and so I finally broke down, tried it and haven’t looked back. 

This decadently, thick drink can even satisfy your desire for ice cream!  

Did you know that Chia Seeds are a super food!?  

Some of chia seeds top 10 ten benefits includes weight loss, healthy omega-3 oil, energy-booster, extremely high in anti-oxidants, supports the digestive tract function and the balances blood sugar. 

Chia Seeds & How to prepare!

  • To soak the chia seeds, place in a jar or small bowl and add 4 tablespoons water for every tablespoon of chia seeds.
  • Place in the refrigerator for  a couple of hours or overnight.
  • The seeds and water will be become gelatinous.
  • The measure of 1 tablespoon includes the seeds and the gelatinous liquid that coats them after soaking.
  • Scoop up a tablespoon of seeds with the gooey liquid and place in a blender with your smoothie.]

Lovin smoothies?  You should try this Blueberry Oatmeal Protein Smoothie (Greek Yogurt} or this yummy Skinny Funfetti Protein Smoothie Shake!

    After you soak the seeds does that make them softer and easier to chew? I have diverticulitis and have to watch out for seeds and nuts. Looks good though.

      Laura, it does make them softer and easier to chew, but maybe you want to grind them up beforehand in a food processor or blender before adding to your smoothie. I know those seeds can really mess you up when you have that, so I would definitely do that if it was me! 🙂
