Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Chia Seeds: 1 tbsp Soaked in water for at least 15-20 mins
  • Mixed Berries: 1 cup Frozen or fresh Strawberries/Blueberries/Raspberries
  • Greek Yogurt or Curd: 1/2 cup Low-fat for weight loss
  • Water or Coconut Water: 1/2 cup For extra hydration
  • Honey or Stevia: 1 tsp Optional; only if berries are tart
  • Flax Seeds: 1 tsp Optional; for extra healthy fats

Method
 

  1. Soak the Seeds: Soak 1 tablespoon of chia seeds in 1/4 cup of water for 20 minutes (you can do this the night before).
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the berries, Greek yogurt, and water (or coconut water).
  3. Sweeten naturally: Add a teaspoon of honey if you prefer a sweeter taste.
  4. Blend: Blend until the berries are completely smooth and the mixture is a vibrant purple/pink color.
  5. Fold in Chia: Pour the smoothie into a glass and stir in the pre-soaked chia seeds. (You can also blend them in, but stirring them in gives a nice "pudding" texture).
  6. Garnish: Top with 1-2 fresh berries or a sprinkle of flax seeds. Serve chilled for Suhoor.
