Fruit Boost Smoothie!

In my opinion, this is just a great way to start your day.  If you are on the run or just don't want a heavy breakfast, this is great!  You get tons of vitamins and nutrients AND protein from the chia seeds!  I much rather have something refreshing and boosting in the morning than something heavy that weighs me down.

This is definitely a meal replacement!  I couldn't imagine having this along side a bowl of oats or a veggie scramble.

 What I also especially admired about this smoothie is the color.  Many times while making smoothie concoctions, the color becomes mute and murky due to the variety of produce thrown in.  I made sure I stuck with yellows, oranges and reds to maintain the fresh and vibrant color.












Ingredients/Directions:
1 banana
1 apple
1 orange
1 stalk celery
5 strawberries
1-2 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 c water
ice

Throw all of the above in your blender and blend away....that's all!
