STAPLE Breakfast smoothie

This one is definitely a staple breakfast for me - my day feels weird without it. It could also serve as a snack. :)

This recipe changes slightly everyday according to what I have, but this is a typical day's breakfast smoothie recipe;

Ingredients

1 small /medium banana

4/5 small /medium strawberries

1 kiwi fruit or small plum

3 leaves of silverbeet or spinach fresh from the garden

2 leaves of kale fresh from the garden

1 Tablespoon chia seeds

1/2 cup water 

Directions

1. Remove stalks from silverbeet ad kale leaves. Wash an peel fruit.

2. Combine all ingredients except the chia seeds, into you blender and blend to desired consistency

3. Add chia seeds and stir immediately and well. Enjoy! The longer you wait, the more swollen the chia seeds get and that is also delicious XD

Some days I replace the spinach an kale wit 1/2 a cup to a cup of baby spinach that you can buy in bags from the supermarket if my garden doesn't have enough, but silverbeet and kale are super easy to grow and well worth it!

I've used all different fruits - always the banana, but any two other fruits are good. Nectarines, mangoes, apples are all good in varied combos each other and the ones above. 

Here's the chia seeds I se as they're a local brand. Chia seeds aren't cheap but they work out at less than 50cents a serve and are definitely a healthy boost to this delicious morning smoothie!
