Blueberry, Chia, Energy Smoothie! (Vegan)






I really love me a good smoothie for lunch. It is easy to take on the go, and healthy. This smoothie I really like because of the energy/caffeine boost you can get from it. This is really important for college students. (Am I right???) Plus convenience is huge. You can make this the night before and put it in the fridge, easy to grab on your way to class. 

Blueberry, Chia, Energy Smoothie 

1 C Water 
2 Green Tea Bags ( I used my fav flavored green tea that nicely compliments the blueberries) 
2 C Blueberries (fresh or frozen) 
1 T Silvered Almonds
1 T Chia Seeds 
1 C Fresh Spinach 
Ice Cubes 

1. First, boil your water brew your green tea. Let cool. 

2. In a blender add cooled tea, blueberries, almonds, chia seeds, and spinach. Blend until smooth. 


3. Add ice to create the consistency you desire. I like mine like a think icy. :) yum! 



This smoothie is high in antioxidants and omega-3. Your body will thank you for the raw nutrition. 


Enjoy!
