These days my family’s new favorite smoothie is this. Super fresh and tasty for this lovely spring weather we have received (at least here in Milano.) I make this recipe for all 4 of us at home and prepare a bit extra so I can bring it in a jar for the boys to have at Kindergarten as their mid-morning snack. This provides great energy and keeps me going until lunch.
3 table spoon Chia seeds that were soaked in water over night
1 pear peeled or washed well
1 apple peeled or washed well
1 big cup frozen blueberries
1 packet of frozen acai berry
3 tablespoons hemp seeds
1 teaspoon organic vanilla
5 dashes of cinnamon
1 handful of spinach
Blend well on high speed until smooth, I like when it is blended well. Place your chia seeds in the blender first so it all blends easier and your blender doesn’t get clogged.

Feel free to play with this recipe and add your favorite ingredients to it.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Love JM
