Minty-Chia Green Smoothie

Minty-Chia Green Smoothie

Adapted from Triathlete Magazine

Ingredients

Serves 1

1 teaspoon chia seeds

4 teaspoons water

1 green apple (I used Granny Smith), cored and chopped

10 fresh mint leaves

A large handful of kale leaves (stems removed) or baby spinach, roughly chopped

½ cup / 125ml apple juice

Directions

In a small bowl combine chia seeds and water and let soak for at least 15 minutes. You can do this in advance in a bigger batch and use 1 tablespoon of the gelatinized mix.

In a blender combine chia seeds, apple, mint, kale (or spinach) and apple juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Pour into a glass and enjoy!
