Blue Pom Chia Smoothie
from ButterYum
makes 2 servings
Ingredients
1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or thawed)
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup pomegranate juice
gelled chia seeds (recipe below)
Directions
In a personal blender, combine blueberries, greek yogurt, and pomegranate juice; blend until smooth.
In 2 tall glasses stir together one part blueberry mixture to one part gelled chia seeds.
Note: to make 1 cup of chia seed gel, combine 3 tablespoons chia seeds and 1 cup water, stir occasionally for about an hour, then store in the fridge for several hours until the seeds absorb all the water - this usually takes a few hours. I like to make a big batch of chia seed gel each week to keep in the fridge so we can make our own smoothies and chia seed drinks (like these) whenever the mood strikes.
