Chia seed, coconut, and spinach smoothie
This rich and creamy smoothie contains only 5 grams of carbohydrates. To keep the carbs down, use unsweetened light coconut milk.
Ingredients:
1 and 1/4 cup of coconut milk
2 tbs of chia seeds
1 cup of spinach
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use designer whey french vanilla)
2 ice cubes
*I also add a few dashes of powdered stevia to mine to give it a little extra sweetness.
Directions:
Add all the above ingredients into a blender or magic bullet and blend until you have a nice smoothie like consistently. Enjoy right away.
For you carb counters out there, this entire smoothie has only 5 grams of effective carbohydrate. The added chia seeds are packed with protein and antioxidants, and since they expand when wet this little treat will keep you feeling full and satisfied.
