Skinny Snack: Strawberry Chia Smoothie - Sivan

Recipes

I haven’t owned a blender for a few years now, but was lucky enough to inherit one of those Magic Bullet thingys when Paul and I moved in together. I had all the crazy parts, attachments, cups, etc. and yet the only thing I knew about it was that it took up an ENTIRE shelf in one of my cupboards and it bugged me. One day, as I was debating if I should throw away some browning bananas and kinda mushy strawberries I thought “it would be amazing to own a blender right now and make a smoothie out of these…” when BAM! I was suddenly assembling the Bullet to make my first smoothie in years. I had just bought chia seeds at TJ and wasn’t really sure how to use them yet so figured it was time for many firsts! Needless to say, my smoothie was amazing and I concoct one daily. I will share all my recipes but here is the first…enjoy!
