This fruity chia seed smoothie is packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats! Although it has no added sugar, it still tastes like a sweet treat!

Since Alex and I are on this no-added-sugar kick, fruit has been the only source of sweetness we’ve really had. That probably sounds a little sad (no fro yo!?) but it’s actually been way easier than I thought. The other benefit? Fruits naturally taste sweeter than they did before!

So while we haven’t been eating many “sweets”, the things we are eating are sweeter than ever! So when a craving does hit me, I usually reach for some berries. They’re perfect for a smoothie because it’s easy to keep a bag of berries in the freezer and they’re still a low-sugar fruit. I’m giving up Sweet Frog… but I’m still enjoying fruity treats like this smoothie!

Description

This fruity chia seed smoothie is packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats! Although it has no added sugar, it still tastes like a sweet treat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (I used unsweetened plain Almond Breeze)
  • 1/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries (mine were blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and cherries)
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Add everything to the blender and blend until combined!
  2. You can use fresh berries if you don’t have frozen ones on hand, but your smoothie won’t be quite as thick and chilled.
  3. If you don’t have chia seeds, this smoothie will still taste the same, but the chia seeds add a nice kick of healthy fats and fiber!

Fruity berry smoothie with almond breeze

I’ve been known to eat this for breakfast… or dessert. It seriously tastes like a fruity sorbet! I think we’re going to start eating more fruits this week, but we’re still avoiding added sugars.
