Chia Chocolate Recovery Smoothie

This Chia chocolate smoothie is one of the best things you can start your day with. You may arguably call it a “shake” as it tastes so delicious. But do not let that chocolate fools you. This is primarily a healthy green smoothie lurking behind a little naturally sweetened cocoa. And it’s so simple to make. 

Such a delicious and rich treat that it is truly good for you. I would consider it an excellent way to start your day. 


INGREDIENTS:

  1. 3 Tbsp. chia seeds
  2. 1 cup tightly-packed fresh spinach
  3. 1 cup ice
  4. 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder (I used dark cocoa powder)
  5. 1 cup milk (I used almond milk)
  6. 1 banana, peeled
  7. 1 Tbsp. honey, if needed to sweeten (optional)
  8. 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:

Put all the ingredients in a blender and mix till smooth. Then serve directly.

If the body is constantly hydrated, there will be positive changes such as like smooth skin and quality digestion. It’s better if you add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. 2. Avoid Your Email or Phone for At Least an Hour Your mind can be focused, clearer and happier if you can stay away from your cell phone for at least an hour.
