Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and ½ cup almond milk. Whisk thoroughly until well combined, then cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel-like consistency.
-
Step 2.
While the chia mixture chills, add the bananas and remaining 1 cup almond milk to a blender. Blend on high until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
-
Step 3.
Add the blueberries to the blender and blend again until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored.
-
Step 4.
Remove the chia seed mixture from the refrigerator—it should have thickened. Whisk it briefly to break up any clumps, then scrape it into the blender using a rubber spatula or spoon.
-
Step 5.
Blend everything together until completely smooth and well combined. Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately.
