Blueberry Banana Smoothie & Chia Pudding

[kotturinn]

Start your morning right with this blueberry banana smoothie and chia pudding breakfast!

I am still not 100% a fan of chia pudding, as it's a bit hard for me to get past the slimy slime texture of it, but I am trying. The best thing that works for me is combining it with something I am more accustomed to, like a smoothie.

Ingredients:

• 4-6 tb. spoons chia seeds;
• 1 cup 1% milk;
• 2 tb. spoons maple syrup;
• 1 banana;
• handful granola;
• handful blueberries;
• 2 tb. spoons plain Greek yogurt.

I was thinking that it would be a good idea to not provide the exact amount of ingredients that I used for this recipe because it usually varies for people depending on their taste and the amount of food they're willing to make, but then decided to include them.
It just doesn't really matter if you use more or less blueberries while making a smoothie. Might as well be a different story for chia pudding though haha. Anyway.

Directions:

1. Combine chia seeds, milk and maple syrup, stir and let the seeds soak for about 20 minutes.

2. In a blender mix together yogurt, banana and blueberries.

3. I decided to layer my smoothie and pudding and serve it in glasses. However you can use a bowl or whatever dish you want. Top it off with your favorite berries or fruits and enjoy!

I love chia pudding, my son hates it. Layering it with other things is a good idea for someone thats not a fan to get used to the texture of it.

For sure, it wasn't as nasty with smoothie and granola this time haha but had to let my husband finish it :D
