Smoothies are all over the place: green, detox, with ice cream and even with avocados – I thought some of these were a crazy idea, but hey they work!.
The best way that i like to drink my smoothie is after a long —30 minutes— workout. It’s just a shot of vitamins that helps me to recover my strengths.
And my favorite one is without any doubt this strawberry banana smoothie. The key to make it thick and refreshing is to freeze the fruit. I usually don’t freeze all the fruit that I’m going to use because instead of a smoothie, it will result in something similar to an ice cream too thick to drink with a straw.
And last but not least the magic of this beverage is its super ingredient: the chia seed. This teeny tiny seed has had a lot of buzz lately. The truth is that a teaspoon of this seed every day can improve your health.
Definitely this is the right combination to bring you back from the fatigue!
