Just in case you were wondering- YES, that is a DUCK DYNASTY CHIA PET. But this smoothie has nothing to do with duck hunting, although you could bring it “to go” on your next hunt I suppose…and offer some to Willie, Uncle Si, and Phil.
As I’ve gotten more into fruitier green smoothies and are drinking my REALLY GREEN SMOOTHIES on much more intentional occasions, I’ve been enjoying the flavors of different fruits and supplemental foods a lot. This one is the result of some of that experimenting. (:
Cha Cha Cha Chia Peach-Banana-Chard Smoothie
1 banana
1/2 peach, no pit
1/4 avocado
2 large leaves chard (Or any green! Spinach is great for newbie smoothie drinkers.)
1 raw organic, pastured egg (You can skip this step if raw eggs gross you out or you don’t have a good egg source.)
2 Tbsp Chia seeds
1/2 scoop Vanilla Sunwarrior brand protein
3/4 – 1 cup of almond or rice milk
5 ice cubes
Directions: Blend first eight ingredients and then add the ice. I love my Vitamix for PERFECT texture!
Shoutout! The Chia seeds I used were provided for me by a sweet woman named Allison Yanagi. She owns her own health business and provides some of the best Chia around. Check her out HERE.
Good to know. Thanks!
Sounds yummy! I’ve never tried a smoothie with an egg, but I’m open to it! What is your egg source here in Atlanta?
We buy Vital Farms eggs from Whole Foods, or sometimes just an organic, cage-free egg from Trader Joe’s or the Dekalb Farmer’s market. http://vitalfarms.com/. I wash mine with a vegetable wash just to be safe, but my husband just cracks ’em open into the Vitamix, Rocky-style.
