BANANA WILD BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE WITH CHIA SEEDS
Because I use frozen organic wild blueberries for this, I don't need to add any ice cubes. You'll need to soak the chia seeds for several hours or overnight.

BLUEBERRY AND CHIA SEED SMOOTHIE
This simple, nutritious smoothie tastes like summer and is delicious when made with fresh blueberries, but it can also be prepared well into the fall with any frozen berries. Famous for supporting endurance, chia seeds give an omega-3 boost, and also provide fiber and protein to keep sippers satisfied.
