Almond Peanut Chia Seeds Smoothie
Breakfast smoothies are really a great way to start a day. They are easy and hassle free on busy weekdays. I like green smoothies for lunch, but a lightly sweet smoothie is something I prefer for breakfast.
This is a simple and delicious smoothie that I usually make when I need a quick boost of energy. Not only it tastes delicious, but it keeps me full for long time. This smoothie is a a good source of protein after workout. With minimal amount of ingredients and no processed sugar, this smoothie is a healthy option for breakfast.
