This blueberry chia smoothie combines delicious blueberries, kale, chia and hemp seeds to keep hunger away and give you energy all morning!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup blueberries
- 1 banana (no brown spots)
- 1 cup kale or spinach (I add mine frozen)
- 1 Tbsp chia (preferably ground, but can be added whole)
- 4 Tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 cup milk (lactose free if lactose intolerant, or almond works great!)
- 1/2-3/4 cup water - to desired thinness
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in blender
- Blend until smooth
- Enjoy breakfast sooner rather than later - chia can thicken if it sits too long. If this is a concern for you, omit the chia

Smoothie Tips and Tricks:
Aiming for more protein? Add protein powder! We typically add 1 scoop of protein powder in this smoothie and I find it doesn't make it too sweet that way, and you don't notice the 'chalky' taste as much. To find a low FODMAP protein powder, visit our blog! Our favourite is the Kaizen Whey Isolate in Vanilla. I often add a bit of frozen spinach to this smoothie. I freeze any greens about to turn that we haven't finished for the week, and just grab a handful to add to the blender as needed. It's a sneaky way to get in more greens without noticing!
