Oh, how I’ve come to love my little nutrient dense chia seeds. They’re a great addition to many dishes, but perhaps best utilized in gel form to provide that signature smoothie creaminess.
This ancient seed is making a resurgence of sorts due to its myriad health benefits and versatility. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade, you know how important omega-3 fatty acids are for your health. Chia seeds are very rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and contain more than flax seeds. Chia seeds are also high in antioxidants, a characteristic that allows them to enjoy a long shelf life, unlike most seeds. And that’s just the beginning of what this superfood has to offer.
This is another one of those ridiculously delectable smoothies that I must remind myself is as healthy as it tastes good. If you occasionally have sugar and/or chocolate cravings like I do, treat your sweet tooth with this delicious and satisfying smoothie without feeling an ounce of guilt. This chocolate raspberry smoothie also makes for a healthy dessert and is sure to be a hit!
