    Chia seeds has a lot of health benefits as it is rich in dietary fiber, protein, minerals, omega -3 fats. You can substitute chia seeds with flax seeds as well.

    Smoothies are so versatile, that you can customize with your favorite fruit and add nutrition according to your needs.

    Nuts are fiber rich, protein rich as well as packed with minerals. So smoothies are also best as post workout drink.

    Instructions

    1. I used frozen banana slices. You can freeze the banana for an hour to make it cold, so that the smoothie is cold. Also use chilled milk. Place everything in a blender and blend smoothly.
    blend

    Serve immediately. Delicious as well as healthy and easy banana chia smoothie! I topped with a pinch of my favourite chocolate drink 🙂
