Blueberry and Chia Seed Smoothie image

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.

I'm allergic to chia seeds, so I substituted them with flax seeds. The smoothie was still delicious and I didn't miss the chia seeds at all.

This smoothie is a great way to use up leftover blueberries. I always have a few blueberries left over after making pancakes or muffins, and this smoothie is a great way to use them up.
