Snack on Healthy Banana Blueberry Chia Seeds with a Smoothie! #MuyLatinas #SmootieChallengeMLN

Something we enjoy very much at home for a morning snack is a Banana – Blueberry – Chia smoothie.
Quick and easy, it is filling and full of the goodness of fruits, Chia seeds and good old milk.
I particularly like it besides its yummy flavor, because we include Chia in it.  Chia helps me reduce my food cravings.  I don’t know how, and don’t want to break the spell. It also makes me feel fuller faster.  In turn, this helps me if not loose weight, at least stay where I am at.
I have been told by my doctor that Chia seeds are rich in Omega 3.  Actually it contains more of it than Salmon.  Powerful little seed!  Doc also mentioned that it can help fight high blood pressure and the “Chia gel” (when you leave the seeds in water for 10 minutes, it starts absorbing water and the consistency become gel like of the mixture) hydrates athletes.

So, without further due, the ingredients for my smoothie:
