Enjoy this delicious and nutrient packed smoothie for breakfast

Chia Seeds--Chia seeds contain omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, which are essential fatty acids that help to boost metabolism and promote lean muscle mass. They also contain fiber, iron, calcium, niacin, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and are an excellent source of antioxidants. Chia seeds contain about 20% protein, a higher percentage than found in many other grains such as wheat and rice. Chia seeds contain strontium which helps to assimilate protein and produce high energy. 

Ingredients

1/2 fresh or frozen banana (I normally cut up a bunch of bananas and store them in the freezer so they are easy to grab and use each morning)

1/2 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (I normally use raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries) 

1 scoop of unflavored whey protein 

1 tbsp chia seeds 

1 cup of water 

Directions

Place all the ingredients in the blender and enjoy!
