The Papaya Chia Seed Almond Milk Shake is a nutritious and delicious beverage perfect for a healthy start to your day or a refreshing mid-day snack. Combining the tropical sweetness of papaya, the rich creaminess of almond milk, and the superfood power of chia seeds, this shake provides a balanced blend of essential nutrients and delightful flavors.
Instructions:
- Place the 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in a small bowl.
- Add about 1/4 cup of almond milk from the 1 cup to the bowl with the chia seeds.
- Stir the mixture well to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Allow it to sit for about 10-15 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency. This can also be done overnight in the refrigerator if you prefer a thicker consistency.
- While the chia seeds are setting, peel and dice the papaya if you haven't already. Ensure the pieces are small enough to blend easily.
- In a blender, add the remaining 3/4 cup of almond milk.
- Add the soaked chia seeds gel.
- Add the diced papaya pieces to the blender.
- Blend all ingredients together on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.
- Pour the shake into a glass.
- You can choose to garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a few small pieces of papaya on top for an added touch.
Tips:
- Choose ripe papaya.: Use a ripe papaya for maximum sweetness and flavor. A ripe papaya will have orange-yellow skin and yield slightly to pressure.
- Soak chia seeds.: For a smoother consistency, soak the chia seeds in almond milk for about 10 minutes before blending. This will give them time to expand and soften.
- Adjust sweetness.: If you prefer a sweeter shake, consider adding a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or a few dates.
- Add a touch of vanilla.: A small splash of vanilla extract can enhance the overall flavor of the shake.
- Blend well.: Make sure to blend the ingredients thoroughly for a smooth, creamy texture. A high-speed blender works best for this.
