Strawberry-Peach Chia Seed Smoothie

This fiber-rich chia smoothie is sweet and tangy, with a velvety texture thanks to nutritious chia seeds that expand as they combine with liquid.

Chia seeds have plenty of healthy benefits, from delivering a boost of fiber to providing a dose of heart-healthy fats. We like the combination of strawberries, peaches and cherries, but any sweet and tangy fruit combo will work.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
• 1 cup frozen peach slices
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
• 1/4 cup frozen dark sweet cherries
• 3 dried pitted dates
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Directions

Place strawberries, peaches, almond milk, yogurt, cherries, dates and chia seeds in a blender. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Divide between 2 glasses and serve immediately.

Tip

Add a cup of 100% cranberry fruit juice or cold water if the smoothie is too tick for your liking
