Recently I posted a blog about the amazing benefits of Chia seeds. I promised a recipe, and here is one of my favorite Chia Seed Recipe. I hope you try it and love it!

What you will need:

2 cups water or coconut water

1.5 tbsp chia seeds (2 tablespoons=10grams of fiber)

1/2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice for taste

Sweetener, for taste (I prefer honey, but splenda doesn't have the sugar)

Instructions: 

1. Add the chia seeds and water into a glass and stir until combined. Let this sit for 10 minutes so the chia seeds can swell up. I like to use a bottle so I can shake up the seeds which prevents clumps.

2. Add the lime juice and sweetener, give it a shake or a stir, and enjoy!

Summer is calling! The days are longer, clothes are coming off, and most of all it is getting HOT! My favorite way to cool down on a hot day is to drink something cool and refreshing. This super healthy strawberry smoothie is my favorite way to cool down!


What you will need: 



Ice (depends on how much you want to make)
1/2 cup vanilla soymilk (regular milk works too)
1/2 cup of blueberries or bananas (fresh or frozen)
1 cup of strawberry (fresh or frozen)
6 ounces non-fat vanilla yogurt (I use plain sugar free greek yogurt)
1 teaspoon of vanilla
a few packets of splenda

Directions

Blend it all together, pour it up, and enjoy!
