Paleo Banana Berry Smoothie

Paleo Banana Berry Smoothie 

(with spinach, chia seeds, and flax seed)

We have been making a lot of smoothies lately! They are just soooo good and you are getting all the great benefits of spinach, chia seed and flax seed with really noticing. I also love that my 1 year old will drink a whole cup or two of it! This is the only way I can get him to eat green stuff!

Be sure to get ground flax seed. I just learned regular flax seed will go straight through your body without digesting so you aren't getting all the health benefits of it. You can use regular chia seeds if you would like, I just like the ground chia seeds more.



1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 frozen banana or a regular banana (the frozen banana gives it a smoother texture)
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1/2 cup frozen spinach or large handful fresh spinach
2 large scoops honey greek yogurt
1 tbsp ground flax seed
1 tbsp ground or whole chia seeds 


Put in blender and turn on! Be sure all the berries are broken up before turning off.  If it is too thick add more almond milk.

This is enough for 2 people.

Enjoy!
