This Strawberry Chia Seed Smoothie is ridiculously easy to makeāa total lifesaver on busy mornings or lazy afternoons! It's packed with flavor, nutrients, and just the right amount of sweetness. It is so healthy and vibrant, perfect for a quick breakfast, post-workout refuel, or just a tasty treat. I came up with this recipe after a particularly brutal hiking trip with my friend, Alice ā we were CRAVING something refreshing and energizing. Let me tell you, this smoothie totally hit the spot!
I've experimented with tons of different smoothie recipes, but this oneās my absolute favorite. The chia seeds add a lovely thickness and creaminess. You can adjust the sweetness based on your preferenceāif you like it sweeter, feel free to add a bit more honey or maple syrup. And if your strawberries are super sweet to begin with, you might not even need any added sweetener at all!

š Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. Make sure your strawberries are washed thoroughly! (This is really important, trust me!)
- If using fresh strawberries, roughly chop them. If using frozen, just pop them in (who needs extra work?).
- Add the strawberries, chia seeds, milk (or yogurt, or whatever you're using!), and honey (or other sweetener) to a blender.
- Blend until smooth. If it's too thick, add a little more liquidāa splash of milk or even some water works great! If it's too thin, well, you can always add more strawberries or chia seeds, I guess. You'll figure it out.
- Strain the smoothie (optional). If you want a completely smooth texture, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the chia seeds. Some people like a little texture, so this step is totally up to you!
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately! Add a fresh strawberry for a pretty garnish if you're feeling fancy. If not, who cares? It's still delicious!
š Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use less liquid. For a thinner smoothie, use more liquid. Don't overthink it!
- Feel free to add other ingredients like banana, spinach, or protein powder!
