Vanilla Lime Green Smoothie!

Another Smooth Move

Today's smoothie is inspired by my Blender Babes.  I've changed it up due to not consuming dairy, and made my own vanilla chia pudding as a yogurt replacement. Which by the way, is a great breakfast treat, or snack alone with some fruit and/or nuts! Yum.

(The original Blender Babes recipe is at the end of this post, enjoy!)

Vanilla Lime Green Smoothie 

1/2 cup vanilla chia pudding
1 cup spinach leaves, packed
2 tsp honey
1/2 frozen banana (I always have many frozen on hand)
2 tbs fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup vanilla almond milk, unsweetened
5 ice cubes

I placed all ingredients in my Vitamix, turned on the smoothie button, and let her rip!

Doesn't this look fabulous! 

This was so smooth and light, it deserved a fancy martini glass!  That's exactly how I devoured it this morning. Yum!  I wish I had made more, and probably will for later :) Thanks Babes!

For the Chia Pudding:

1/3 cup chia seeds

1- 1/2 cups of your choice non-dairy milk, almond, soy, coconut, etc.

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 tbs raw coconut nectar, maple syrup (Make thin to blend easier)

Put all ingredients together and shake vigorously.  Let chill for at least 4-hours, or overnight.

Here is the Blender Babes version:
