Pineapple Chia Smoothie With Herbs image

I love pineapple smoothies. In this one I use carrot juice for the liquid and it works beautifully, as it's neither too sweet nor too acidic.

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 ripe pineapple, cored, skinned and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 heaped cup, or/ 7 ounces)
1 tablespoon soaked chia seeds (1 teaspoon dry unsoaked)
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, soaked overnight in water and drained
1/2 cup carrot juice
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley leaves, firmly packed
4 to 5 fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes

Steps:

  • To soak the chia seeds, place in a jar or bowl and add 4 tablespoons water for every tablespoon of chia seeds. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. The seeds and water will be become gelatinous.
  • Scoop up a tablespoon of seeds with the gooey liquid and place in a blender (don't worry, your smoothie won't have this consistency). Add the remaining ingredients and blend for 1 full minute at high speed.
