Other ingredients

Wildly Organic Chia Seeds add protein and fiber to this smoothie. Wildly Organic Coconut Flakes add healthy fats while also giving this smoothie a rich coconut flavor, making it more desirable for the summer months. Wildly Organic Nut Butter Medley provides the smooth buttery flavor along with its additional protein. Finally, I topped it with some Wildly Organic Goji Berries, another superfood rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. The goji berries also add sweetness and a chewy texture to this smoothie. Overall this is a very healthy and delicious smoothie. You’ll love it!

Tips for Coconut Chia Smoothie

1. You do not need an expensive blender. Any high powder blender will work great.
2. Chia seeds do not need to be completely blended. This smoothie’s chewy texture provides more satisfaction if you consume this smoothie as a post-workout recovery drink.
3. You don’t have to mix the coconut milk powder with water before blending. Simply combine all the ingredients in a blender.
4. Refrigerate for an hour to thicken and enjoy as a smoothie bowl with a spoon.
