Show of hands if it feels like Spring in your neck of the woods. Nah? Well, click on over... I've got just the thing for you!
Soooo, before we get to sipping and slurping on this tall glass of jewel-toned awesomeness I call Blueberry Chia Seed Breakfast Smoothie, I need to throw in my all-too-frequent moan and groan about the weather.
Last year, Spring sucked. Hard. She was a roller-coaster of emotions with all her water-works and cold-shoulder nonsense (my displeasure was duly noted in this post). I am not prepared to put up with such behaviour this year - not after such a brutal winter. So stop your silly Jedi mind tricks and just warm the hell up, missy. STAT!
OK...this Blueberry Chia Seed Breakfast Smoothie! A real beaut, right? It's also extra large on taste and so very good for you. Can you say Anthocyanins?
With a BPA-free, coconut milk base, this smoothie is perfect for you vegans and us lactose-intolerant types. Add a little plant-based protein powder, a mix of frozen berries and banana, organic wild blueberry powder and a generous scoop of chia seeds and you've got liquid sapphire. Sip on that Marilyn Monroe!
Never heard of blueberry powder? We all know what a powerhouse fresh blueberries are said to be. This powder version boasts all the attributes of its little blue 'pre-carnation' - antioxidant, cholesterol regulator, bone protector, heart-friendly, brain food and just as tasty.
I find fruit powders to be such a versatile alternative to fresh or out-of-season fruit and for that reason we tend to keep some on hand. Lately, however, I've been experimenting with such powders in place of food colour in baking. The results of which I'll be sharing with you shortly!
So blend a batch of my Blueberry Chia Seed Breakfast Smoothie, grab a straw (not sure why you hadn't already) and let's slurp a toast to Monday and to Spring. May she not be a total disappointment this year. Cheers!
