Best 2 Strawberry Muesli Chia Smoothie Recipes
STRAWBERRY MUESLI CHIA SMOOTHIE
I noticed a bottled strawberry/lime/chia drink in the refrigerator section of Trader Joe's recently, and thought I'd use the strawberry/chia combination in a smoothie. I added muesli for bulk and geranium syrup for flavor.

- Scoop up a tablespoon of seeds with the gooey liquid and place in a blender (don't worry, your smoothie won't have this consistency). Add the remaining ingredients and blend for 1 full minute at high speed.

BANANA MUESLI SMOOTHIE
Years ago, before the term "super foods" was a part of our lexicon, I would always add a handful of chia seeds to my whole-grain bread dough. I knew the seeds were high in protein (chia, like quinoa, has all of the essential amino acids), and in those days vegetarians were obsessed with proving that we could get enough protein from plant sources. I didn't use chia seeds in other recipes, and eventually I forgot about them. But chia seeds have made a comeback. They are not only high in protein, but higher in omega-3 fatty acids than flaxseeds. They're a great source of fiber, phytochemicals, phosphorus and manganese, and they also contain calcium. If you want a delicious smoothie that will see you through a morning workout, this is it. Soak the muesli in water or milk the night before.

To soak the chia seeds, place in a jar or bowl and add 4 tablespoons water for every tablespoon of chia seeds. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. The seeds and water will be become gelatinous. The measure of 1 tablespoon includes the seeds and the gelatinous liquid that enrobes them after soaking.
