Recipe Instructions:

2 cups almond milk or coconut milk
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 banana
1/2 cup blueberries - frozen will do
1/2 fresh apple (i use the soft apples for my smoothies)
1/2 cup kale - washed well and stem removed
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (I use a chunk of peeled fresh ginger)
1/4 cup parsley - washed (use stems as well)
1 teaspoon turmeric - ground
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon flax seeds - ground
1 teaspoon flax seed oil
1/2 cup frozen fruit (mixed berries, peaches etc.)

Directions
Pour almond or coconut milk into a blender & add chia seeds to allow the chia seeds to soak for 5-10 minutes. (When you soak the seeds in the milk, they expand and become gelatinous, a property that aids digestion and contributes to their low glycemic index)
Add all remaining ingredients and blend until chunks are liquified and the smoothie is the consistency you desire.
Pour into 2 large glasses and enjoy.
