Though I am little late to smoothie, I have created very tasty, healthy and yet easy chocolate banana chia seeds smoothie. Spend just 2 minutes in night to soak the chia seeds and you will have healthy breakfast for your next morning in 5 minutes.

Especially in summer, chia seeds gives lots of benefits about how to survive in hot summer. It is best coolant ingredient for our body, while you experienced high temperature above 40 degree. I am in that situation now! 🙁

During this summer Mint Kiwi Lemonade and Rose Milk are the drinks are best options for me  in these hottest days.

I have to make one confession here. I was not familiar about chia seeds before this incident. One day, I was watching very good food photography video, and in that they were teaching how to take drinks photos. It was chia seed smoothie photos and I was wondering what is this lovely ingredient???

My mother-in-law were asking me what kind of video I was watching at that time. because she always interested in food recipe videos. I showed her that beautiful creation of smoothie, and she said “Ohh!!! I know this ingredient…” She told me the Indian name of chia seeds (takhamaria or sabja seeds), which I am always familiar since my childhood.

Now, I can create lots of best smoothie form chia seeds. After all it’s my childhood partner. You can use chia seeds in any type of drinks. it’s tasteless, so you can combine it with any flavored ingredients.

This is most versatile chocolate banana smoothie recipe using chia seeds.

You can use any type of (milk or dark) chocolate in this smoothie. you can even use chocolate spread in this smoothie.(I prefer not to use coco powder because then you have to add sweeten ingredient )

If you don’t have chocolate, leave it… add vanilla.

If you don’t have banana. leave it… Only chocolate also works.

You can use dates instead of banana. It is also a healthier option.
