STRAWBERRY MUESLI CHIA SMOOTHIE

Strawberry Muesli Chia Smoothie image

I noticed a bottled strawberry/lime/chia drink in the refrigerator section of Trader Joe's recently, and thought I'd use the strawberry/chia combination in a smoothie. I added muesli for bulk and geranium syrup for flavor.

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/4 cup muesli
3 tablespoons low-fat milk or water
1 tablespoon soaked chia seeds (1 teaspoon dry unsoaked)
1 heaped cup ripe strawberries, hulled (about 6 ounces)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon geranium syrup

Steps:

The night before, place the muesli in a small bowl or ramekin and cover with 3 tablespoons milk or water. Refrigerate overnight. Soak the chia seeds overnight as well.
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.
