Banana chia shake with vanilla milk

A Banana Chia Shake with Vanilla Milk is a nutritious and delicious way to kickstart your day or recharge after a workout. This shake combines the natural sweetness of banana, the creaminess of milk, and the added health benefits of chia seeds, all enhanced with a hint of vanilla flavor. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a healthy snack, it's a blend that’s both satisfying and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

1 banana
120g
1/2 cup milk (3.25% fat)
120g
1 tbsp vanilla extract
13g
1 tbsp chia seeds
12g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
- Measure out the milk, vanilla extract, and chia seeds.
2. Blend the Ingredients:
- In a blender, combine the banana chunks, milk, vanilla extract, and chia seeds.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
3. Check Consistency:
- If the shake is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more milk and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
4. Serve Immediately:
- Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately. The chia seeds will start to gel over time, so it’s best to drink the shake soon after blending for the best texture.
5. Optional Garnish:
- For an extra touch, you can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a slice of banana on the rim of the glass.

Tips:

- For a thicker shake, use frozen banana slices or add a few ice cubes before blending.

- Substitute regular milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk if you're lactose intolerant or prefer a dairy-free option.

- Let the chia seeds soak in the milk for 10-15 minutes before blending to enhance their digestibility and nutritional benefits.

- Add a handful of spinach or a scoop of protein powder to boost the nutritional content even further.

- Drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup into the mix if you prefer a sweeter shake.

Enjoy your Banana Chia Shake with Vanilla Milk, a wholesome and delectable drink that's packed with nutrients. Whether you're leading a busy lifestyle or simply in need of a health boost, this shake is bound to become a favorite. Savor the blend of flavors and the energy it brings, knowing it’s as good for you as it tastes.
