Mixed Berries Smoothie | Chia Seed Smoothie

Mixed Berries Smoothie, a delicious and fulfilling smoothie made from the varieties of berries. This mixed berries smoothie is a healthy breakfast smoothie and can be prepared in minutes. 

As spring is in full swing here now, the fresh produce aisles are filled with different varieties of berries. So I have been snacking on the berries a lot nowadays and also making these kinds of smoothies often as breakfast  when I'm planning for an earlier/heavy lunch meal. 

Though I have used fresh berries for this smoothie, it can also be made with frozen berries, tried a couple of times and it tastes equally good. In addition to the fruits, I have used some soaked chia seeds for extra nutrition and also it gives thickness to the smoothie. 

Ok, let's check out on how to make this delicious smoothie.

Raspberry Smoothie With Chia Seeds | Smoothie Recipe

Raspberry Smoothie, a delicious and easy to make fulfilling smoothie with few ingredients. Smoothies can be made with almost all fruits and any type of milk like full fat, skim milk, coconut milk  and almond milk or even with curd. I personally prefer to make my smoothie with milk if the fruit has little tartness in it and with curd if the fruit is too sweet to balance out the taste. The raspberry that i have used today has little bit of tartness in it, so i used milk here, taste your berries, based on that you can use milk or curd or as per your liking.

Here in today's smoothie i have added some soaked chia seeds to the smoothie. Adding chia seeds to your drink helps to keep you fill for very long time, so you can have this as breakfast smoothie if you plan for earlier lunch. Chia seeds are often known as super food and have many amino acids which the body needs, also the nutritional experts advice to include in the diet. And this is one of many way of me including this super food in my diet other than adding into my honey water or oats bowl. Do give it a try, it's tasty and fulfilling!!!
