Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie

By Molly
Yield 2 servings

Smoothies are the perfect breakfast or snack for meals on the run. The chia seeds in this deliciously fruity version add a unique texture. Drink this Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie smoothie right away for a satisfying crunch, or wait for the seeds to “gel” and enjoy a texture similar to tapioca pearls. This shake is lower in protein than most Paleo breakfasts, so be sure to pair it with a hard-boiled egg, some cooked chicken or sausage, or a handful of almonds for a complete meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 large kiwi(s) peeled and roughly chopped or sliced
• 1 cup(s) strawberries, frozen
• 1 can(s) coconut milk, full fat (403 mL)
• 2 tablespoon(s) chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon(s) honey, raw (optional)

Method:

1. Combine kiwi, strawberries, coconut milk and honey (if desired) in a blender. Pulse for 60 seconds, or until fully blended.
2. Stir in chia seeds. Serve immediately. For a thicker smoothie, refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours to let chia seeds “gel.”
