This looks amazing – I’ve made a lot of green smoothies in the past, but never thought to add Chia seeds. Is that to add protein? Or to thicken? (or both?!) 🙂 Can’t wait to try this one out.
I add Chia seeds for the fiber, it helps keep me feeling fuller longer. I Hope you like it! Thank you for your comment!
