Berry Green Chia Pudding (Infused with Camu Camu)
We all know snacks in between meals are important in the process of losing weight and keeping energy levels up throughout the day. But what essentially could be a healthy snack without the sugar content and list of ingredients in each container you buy at the grocery store? Well, by now we should all know that anything and everything raw and organic from the earth is essentially healthy and safe to consume.
This smoothie is infused with Vitamin C because of the Camu Camu powder which boosts your immune system. As a vegan I tend to use Spirulina a lot since it is high in antioxidant enzymes and high in Vitamin A (Beta Carotene.) You might also be wondering where I get my protein and calcium from. Well, Chia seeds are one of the best super foods out in the market that provide nutrients such as Omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, calcium, protein and antioxidants. Need I say anymore? Happy and healthy snacking to you!
Servings shields: 5-6 500ml. small Mason Jars
- 2 bananas

Instructions:
In a blender: mix bananas, berries, spinach, spirulina, camu camu, honey and water. Then blend slowly increasing speed to the highest and blend for 2 minutes.
Set up mason jars with 6 tbsp each then pour blend mix over to fill half way. (space is needed to add walnuts and strawberries)
With a spoon: mix Chia seeds well to fill jar then add walnuts and strawberries.
Cover and seal. Place in refrigerator for 6 hours or more so that Chia seeds absorb smoothie and turn into the consistency of a pudding.
Take with you on-the-go to eat as a snack or enjoy for breakfast. You can also skip the walnuts and drink as a smoothie. Walaa!
