How to Make a Chia Seed Smoothie

Below, you’ll find the basic, easy steps to making a chia smoothie. Then, further down in the post, you’ll find 3 different recipes for including chia seeds in a smoothie!

Whisk Chia Seeds (for mango chia smoothie, skip this step)

Pour chia seeds into a small bowl with milk. I like to buy a big ol’ bag of chia seeds so I don’t have to worry about the cost and be able to use as much as I need. Here are the chia seeds I use. 🙂 Whisk until well mixed and cover. Place this bowl in the fridge and let it set for about 10 minutes.

Add Bananas (for mango chia smoothie, skip this step)

Now, head on over to your favorite blender and add in the frozen bananas and remaining milk. Blend until smooth.

Add Complementary Fruit

Grab the star fruit of the chia seed smoothie recipe you’re using and blend until smooth. See recipe card for the exact amount, as it differs for each recipe.

Blend

Go to the fridge and grab the chia gel mixture you’ve made. Scrape it completely into the blender. Blend until smooth.

Pour & Enjoy

Pour into cups and enjoy your new favorite chia seed smoothie!

More Ways to Include Chia Seeds in a Smoothie

Play around with the frozen fruits.

I like to use frozen bananas as a base for many of my chia seed smoothie recipes because it adds such delicious creaminess and sweetness. But you may not be a big fan of bananas—no problem. Just swap the frozen bananas for your favorite fruit. Make sure to give yourself some time to experiment with how much you use of each fruit, as some are much more sour or overly sweet than others.

Don’t have frozen fruits?

If you want to use fresh instead, simply wash and prepare your fresh fruit. Remove any stems or seeds that you don’t want to eat. Then, pat dry and freeze.
