Creamy Strawberry Chia Seed Smoothie
When life gets busy and you can barely keep up with laundry, healthy meals are the last thing you want to think about. One way to make sure you start the day off with right with a healthy breakfast is to whip up a smoothie! We love smoothies here on FFF because of they back a lot of nutrition in a short amount of time. And? Smoothies options and combinations of fruits, vegetables, and fixings are endless!
If you are a classic smoothie flavor kind of a person, you would love our classic strawberry smoothie recipe or our strawberry banana smoothie with peanut butter. You just can’t beat em. If you want to add a little pizzaz to your smoothie this Creamy Strawberry Chia Seed Smoothie is for you! It is a smoothie and chia seed pudding combined into one. I love the jelly consistency of the chia seeds. It’s a little less jelly than bubble tea, but the same idea! Why chia seeds? I’ll tell you why!

I would sub out chiaseeds for flax seeds.
Flax is great, too!! They don’t soak up as much liquid as chia seeds, so try adding a little less liquid then the recipe calls for!
Looking for healthy recipes
Strawberry and chia, my two favourite things! I bought so much berries before they go out, so I will definitely be trying this soon. Thanks for the recipe!

Woohoo!!
I make my strawberry smoothie almost the same way, but I must try adding vanilla extract. Great pictures, pinning!
Thanks for pinning Mira!!!! Do you use kefir a lot?
I’m a frozen fruit border too and love adding chia seeds.. smoothie looks good!
I hoard baby spinach in my freezer for smoothies. For whatever reason, I think freezing fresh baby spinach tastes wayyy better in smoothies than already frozen spinach. I also feel talking about the weather when you live in the Midwest is a little less cliche. Let’s be real – we get 90 degrees one day and then 60 the next.. Mother Nature is cray-cray!
It is cray cray but so worth talking about! Where in the midwest are you?! Also- I never freeze my spinach for smoothies I always just use it raw. Hmmm. Does the taste or consistency change? #musttrynow
I’m in the Chocago area. It’s been awhile since I’ve used fresh spinach, but I feel like the frozen spinach adds a nice icey flavor. Hard to explain. I mostly started freezing fresh spinach so it didn’t go bad in the fridge. Guess I just grew to love it!
Interestinggggggg. Well I just bought some packaged frozen spinach and I’m totally going to trick it. #imscared
So, I’ve become a bit of a chia seed whore lately. I’m eating this chia pudding every day now. What I didn’t realize is that 3 tablespoons of seeds (which isn’t much) is way over 300 calories!! I mean…. that’s a lot of cals for a wee seed.
Anyway, i’ve been inclined to cut back on my obsession, but these look absolutely to die for.
Have fun in canada!! I lived in BC for a spell. Sooooo rainy!
Seriously I didn’t realize they had so many calories in them either! Good thing they expand to times 8! I gotta cut back on my nut butter consumption…I eat like 4 tablespoons a day. #oops
Okay, nice smoothie but THE PEPPERMINT ONE.
Oh geebuz.
DOODE. That smoothie is amazeballs. It tastes like dessert heaven.
I always crave a smoothie post workout as I am such a sweat monster – sexy huh?
This smoothie looks awesome – I love the addition of kefir 🙂
I’m a total sweaty beast too! That just means you’re sweating more toxins out than other people 😀
