Blueberry Chia Pick-Me-Up
by members
This refreshing beverage is a delightful snack in the afternoon or evening, or may be a part of a healthy breakfast. It contains the “super-food” chia seed. Once soaked in liquid, these tender, tapioca-like seeds have a delicately crunchy center. They are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, and like other edible seeds, provide significant fiber and protein. Research also indicates that chia seeds may reduce glucose levels, provide carbohydrate loading for athletic performance, and reduce some symptoms of depression.
INGREDIENTS
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 cups cold soy*/almond/rice milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 cups blueberries ; fresh or frozen defrosted
